Le Penseur in the Musée Rodin in Paris ("je pense, donc je suis" Descartes)
The Thinker has been cast in multiple versions and is found around the world.
François-Auguste-René Rodin made the first small plaster version around 1880. In its origin, The Thinker, would represent Dante in front of the Gates of Hell.
This first large-scale bronze became the property of the city of Paris thanks to a subscription organized by Rodin admirers and was put in front of the Panthéon in 1906.
In 1922, it was moved to the Hôtel Biron, which had been transformed into the Rodin Museum.
