以《思想者》和《吻》而闻名的罗丹从古典古代艺术中汲取能量和灵感，他吸收和同化了古希腊、罗马艺术中的模式，以创新的方式运用在作品中。帕特农神庙的雕塑是一个巨大的灵感来源。他先是在书本上看到它们，在巴黎美术学院看到石膏模型，在卢浮宫看到一些原作，又在几次参观大英博物馆的过程中亲手画下它们。他收集了大量古物，包括许多大理石雕塑碎片，他认为这些碎片本身就是完整的物品。他在自己的作品中，引入将无头、无肢体的躯干作为创作对象的概念，这对其同时代的艺术家影响很大。

本书讲述了现代人对帕特农神庙雕塑的接受情况，以及罗丹在其一生中对这些雕塑的持续研究。书中按主题进行探讨，介绍了大量罗丹的雕塑和素描作品，以及帕特农神庙雕塑和罗丹自己收藏的雕塑精选，为这位伟大和激进的现代雕塑家的生活和艺术带来了新的阐释。

Rodin, famous for The Thinker and The Kiss, drew energy and inspiration from the art of Classical antiquity, and he absorbed and assimilated the models of ancient Greek and Roman art in his own work in innovative ways. The Parthenon sculptures in particular were a great source of inspiration. He encountered them first in books, plaster casts in the école des Beaux-Arts in Paris and some originals in the Louvre, and then drew them first-hand on several visits to the British Museum. He amassed a collection of antiquities including many fragments of marble sculpture, which he regarded as complete objects in themselves. In his own work he introduced the idea of the headless, limbless torso as object of art in its own right, much influencing his contemporaries.

Rodin and the art of ancient Greece brings together all these elements for the first time. It tells the story of the reception of the Parthenon sculptures in the modern era, as well as Rodin’s continued engagement with them throughout his life. The works featured, encompassing a great range of Rodin’s sculptures and drawings together with select sculptures from the Parthenon and Rodin’s own collection, are explored thematically, shedding new light on the life and art of one of the greatest and most radical sculptors of the modern age.
