WE RECOMMEND THIS SUBSTITUTION: Hand of God in Stone Finish

The Hand of God was produced in 1898 by the master sculptor Auguste Rodin. It represented a total break from any sort of traditional composition and the adoption of a form directly aimed at the imagination. The hand that powerfully molds the matter from which two newborn creatures emerge is the divinity which forms humanity from nothing; it is also the symbolic image of the artist who invents a world. The Hand of God originated from a study of a hand used for two characters in the Burgher of Calais group, the gestures of which evoke farewell and despair. This certified reproduction by RMN has a stamp of authenticity, made from resin, and measures 6"H x 6"W x 6.5"L.
