An Excursion to the Old World

I am a student at the University of Toronto (Canada), going on what was once called "the Grand Tour" -- a trip around the whole of Northern Europe (and, perhaps, in the near future, Southern Europe as well). My parents and I should be spending about 3 months on our tour. I hope you will enjoy reading about my experiences, and feel free to suggest places to go (or pictures to take).

Rodin's Eve

Here, Eve -- also by Rodin.

This, like the thinker, was originally developed for his monumental "Gates of Hell". However, here, Rodin developed it into a separate piece.

Note that there are many recasts of Rodin's pieces -- these pieces, unusually, were original casts created by Rodin, himself.

They are slightly unusual, in their smaller size (I think). I later saw another Rodin original, and that was much bigger.
