Jean d’Aire, his jaw set, the second to volunteer after Eustache de Saint-Pierre. Eustache de Saint-Pierre was the richest, oldest and most prominent of the Burghers.The two heads shown in this series are in the Rodin Garden outside the art museum at Stanford. The full sculpture of The Burghers of Calais is outside The Quad.

C'est beau quand même du Rodin.

Very determined looking fellow.
Looks quite stubborn! ;D
Another beautiful sculpture. You're right. Why didn't American artists learn from their European predecessors?
Quelle trouvaille Louis!
Bien à toi
Bisous

The Burghers of Calais is a fascinating story. I'm glad you took this photo so I could Google it and learn more about French history.
Very nice!
Rodin was such a genius! Thanks for sharing this work of art with us today Louis!
Fantastic photos.
Darryl and Ruth : )
Nice posing!
Another great thing about Rodin is that he was prolific. I visit the Burghers of Calais outside of the Norton Simon museum in Pasadena. These guys need a little spit & polish.:)
