3D Files

In the early 2010s, the musée Rodin commissioned a three-dimensional scan of several sculptures from its collections for study and documentation purposes. This was intended to allow a comparison of two successive stages in the production of the works and to better visualise the formal developments. In the case of Le Baiser, for example, the experiment focused on the initial, medium-sized version and on the large marble model. For Le Sommeil, the aim was to work on the initial plaster work and the mise-aux-points model, reworked by Rodin with a view to cutting a marble.
