About This File

UPDATED:
Included a smaller version.
One of Auguste Rodin’s most famous sculptures is The Thinker Statue, a piece originally conceived to be part of another work. The Thinker was part of a commission by the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris to sculpt a monumental door based on The Divine Comedy of Dante. Each of the statues in the piece represented one of the main characters in the epic poem.

Initially named the The Poet, The Thinker statue was intended to represent Dante himself at the top of the door reflecting on the scene below. However, we can speculate that Rodin thought of the figure in broader, more universal terms. The Thinker is depicted as a man in sober meditation battling with a powerful internal struggle. The unique pose with hand to the chin, right elbow to the left knee, and crouching position allows the statue to survey the work with a contemplative feel.

Hope you like it.
No dependencies.

These three statues (Venus, disk thrower, thnker) are all beautiful, but a little too big in my opinion. All three lots are 3x3, aren't they?

My first attempts were with much smaller versions, but I found that they lost a great deal of detail, so I decided to make them a little bigger. You can always get on the LE and make your own smaller lots. The statues are props.

Randominsanity: You can always change the grass on the LE. I like to keep stuff free of dependencies. If people want they can create their own LOTs using whatever they fancy. I like to BAT more than LE, and I usually don't like to have to download a whole bunch of dependencies just for a statue. Anyway, each one to its own. I work with what the game gives you and you add as you please.
