“The Thinker” is a bronze sculpture by Auguste Rodin. It depicts a man in sober meditation battling with a powerful internal struggle. It’s sometimes used to represent philosophy.
I propose that this gentleman’s deep and emotive inner conflict has not been resolved due to the fact that he has not come to know that the trying of his faith works patience. Yep, that’s a real battle.
You can see the original sculpture at the Musée Rodin in Paris, France. There are many copies of the statue around the world including the Sakip Sanbanci Museum in Istanbul, Turkey, the Museo Soumaya in México City, México, The Detroit Institute of Arts in Michigan, or the Cleveland (Ohio) Museum of Art. Cleveland's statue was badly damaged by vandals and is currently deplayed in its unrepaired state.
