| Eternal Idol By Auguste Rodin - Eternal Idol By Auguste Rodin - A young woman is half seated, half kneeling, with her head bending forward and a dreamy look in her face, while a man kneeling before her, restraining his desire, his arms behind his back, softly bends his head and plants a kiss under her breast, over the heart. The originality of the pose is unique in sculpture, rendering it one of the loveliest commentaries on the relation between man and woman that exist in art. Also known as the Host.
The statue was cast in plaster in 1889. Rilke, biographer and one time secretary to the sculptor, wrote, "A girl on her knees, bends her beautiful body backward. One does not dare to give it a meaning. It has a thousand meanings."
