Presentation of the work:

Carved in stone and still covered in toolmarks, The Cathedral is a combination of two right hands, belonging to two different figures.

It was entitled The Ark of the Covenant, before being named The Cathedral, very probably after the publication of Rodin's Les Cathédrales de France, in 1914.

Parallels may be drown between the mysterious inner space that seems to emanate from the composition and Gothic architecture.

Each reproduction requires great expertise   and draws on the skills of the Rodin Museum's teams and craftsmen. It is from the official moulds from the museum's collections that the most accurate resin reproductions are made. They are then hand-patinated to give it the appearance of bronze, plaster, stone or marble.

Finally, they are validated and checked by the Musée Rodin’s curators to ensure that they comply with moral rights.

Reproductions come with an explanatory note about the history of the work.

The seal and the mention “Reproduction - Musée Rodin” guarantee the quality and origin of the sculpture reproduction.
