This sculpture was greatly influenced by the works of michelangelo when Rodin visited Italy early in his career.
Auguste Rodin at the Musee D'Orsay.
The Walking Man.
Rodin moved away from the traditional way of sculpting, to creating fragments of the human body, to accentuate power, emotion, strength and so on within the muscles, veins and bodily structure. The Walking Man is a good example of this as the mans power and strength is shown clearly through the intesity of his muscles protruding from his torso, his masculine bones projecting from his hips, and his commanding and influential stance.
