Camille Claudel is one of the most famous French artists of the end of the 19th century, and she particularly stood out for her innovative and very fine sculptures. Although these works have a perfect place in museums, one of them was recently found in an abandoned Parisian apartment.
A remarkable sculpture by the French artist Camille Claudel was discovered in an abandoned Parisian apartment. The work, titled Mature agewas found hidden under a cloth, remaining intact despite the passage of time. It is believed that this work, thought lost for a century, had been hidden in this place for more than 15 years. The bronze sculpture was found when an auctioneer carried out an inheritance inventory of the unoccupied Parisian apartment on behalf of an Orléans heir.
Note that this sculpture is one of four exceptional works created by Claudel at the beginning of the 20th century, although some sources also mention replicas created later. This work represents a man and two women, one old and the other young. The older woman leads her lover forward. The youngest is kneeling behind, reaching out her hand towards him. As for what will happen to this sculpture now, it will soon be sold at auction, and it is estimated that its value could reach 2 million euros.
The discovery of this sculpture puts Camille Claudel back in the spotlight. Remember that Claudel was one of the rare female sculptors of her time. She stood out largely for her daring and visionary side. She is also famous for being the muse and student of the famous sculptor Auguste Rodin. In addition, here are 10 sculptures that are among the most unusual in the world.
