- Abstract
- This article reconstitutes the ways in which Auguste Rodin came to associate the poetical universes of Dante’s Divine Comedy and Baudelaire’s Flowers of Evil. It concentrates particularly on the original edition bibliophile Paul Gallimard commissioned Rodin to illustrate, the different drawing techniques Rodin used to achieve his work and the ways in which he drew on former sculptures he had elaborated for his monumental and unfinished Gates of Hell. It proceeds, lastly, to the examination of several examples of drawings – “Une Charogne”, “La Béatrice” and “Les Bijoux” – that defines a peculiar link to baudelairian poetry.
