Michel-Ange Rodin. Living Bodies

Rodin held boundless admiration for the genius of Italian Renaissance, seeing in it the spiritual father of modern sculpture. The Louvre Museum orchestrates a spectacular encounter between these two sacred figures from April 15th to July 20th, 2026. Through a selection of masterpieces, the event highlights how the movement, the twisting of muscles, and the expression of inner torment link these creators despite the centuries that separate them. The route spotlights the strength of “the unfinished,” this aesthetic of the incomplete that infuses life into stone and bronze. Seeing these sculptures dialogue offers a new perspective on the physical and spiritual power of art. It’s a unique opportunity to observe the legacy of an aesthetic revolution that continues to challenge our view of the human body.
