From 1891, the moment he received the commission for Balzac, to 1898, the year he completed the sculpture, Rodin worked ceaselessly on this masterpiece, which he regarded as the summit of his achievement. As he worked on his creation, the artist's way of thinking underwent a veritable upheaval : a precise analysis of the many studies Rodin made elucidates each stage of its evolution.
