Testimonials

Here is what some of them say...

"I have received the sculpture and I am pleased with not only the piece, but with your entire process; the information I received from Nina was very helpful, the expedient manner in which you filled my order, the care and quality in the shipment and packaging, and the timeliness in which I received my order, all met or exceeded my expectations. Thanks for not gouging me on the shipping as so many businesses do. I will definitely order more pieces from you. Thanks and good luck in your business." -- Brian, USA

"Great service from your company. The "Dying Gaul" arrived safely. Many thanks, from a customer." -- Monique in France

"I must say I'm quite impressed with the quality of service and prompt replies your company has exhibited. Perhaps because I've lived in Asia (6 years) for so long I've resigned myself to thinking "customer service" was a concept that used to exist! Thank you so much for your assistance." -- Marshall in Manila

We are pleased to present Francois-Auguste-Rene Rodin (Nov. 12, 1840 - Nov. 17, 1917) and consider several influences that shaped his life and his art.He was born in Paris in 1840 to a Norman father and a mother from Lorraine. They lived very simply. Rodin was schooled in Rouen, 1851-1853. He applied for the sculpture program at Paris' renowned Ecole des Beaux-Arts but was rejected three times for sculpture. Later he was offered admission into their drawing program but declined because he felt his future was in sculpture. Being rejected for sculpture is a truly amazing fact considering what Rodin was to become--one of the most pre-eminent sculptors of the 20th century! Having been rejected by Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Rodin instead entered Paris' decorative arts school, the Petite Ecole, in 1854 at age fourteen. While at this school, he met Jules Dalou (1838-1902), who would become a sculptor-friend. Rodin honored him with a portrait bust in 1883.
