It is not coincidence that Feminine beauty and its power is almost the only subject of these sculptures. Two of them were created by two great French sculptors, Camille Claudel (1864-1943) and Auguste Rodin (1840-1917). Claudel met Rodin in 1883 and quickly became his model, lover and muse. She worked in his workshop and developed Her own talent. In 1886 Claudel started working on Her 'Sakuntala'. She finished it two years later and exhibited it with great success. In 1890 Rodin combined two of his previously created figures into famous sculpture 'The Eternal Idol' and Claudel further developed Her original idea and in 1905 She finished Her marble version of Sakuntala named Vertumnus and Pomona. Art creates beauty.
