La porte de l'Enfer.

La porte de l'Enfer (The gates of Hell) is a monumental sculpture by frenchman Auguste Rodin. It is 6m in height, 4m in width and 1m in depth. It was commissioned in 1880 and Rodin worked on it until his death in 1917.

This work depicts a variety of figures from the Old Testament and from Dante's time, but the inspiration for it was obviously Dante's Inferno. We can also detect other sources such as Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du Mal and Balzac's La Comédie Humaine (which is a play on the unofficial title of Dante's Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso).
Some interesting figures are the Thinker or the Poet, which most people believe represents Dante as well as Rodin, both looking down at their work. Another notable presence is that of Paolo and Francesca, in the figure most commonly known as the Kiss.

One thing I find very interesting is that Rodin was commissioned to create this door for a new museum the governmental authority on art and culture was building, but the authority left all the artistic decisions to the sculptor. The fact that he decides to make his door a graphical representation of the Gates of Hell is not a coincidence, as Rodin apparently was not a fan of the government's control of artists. On top of that, Rodin preferred that his statues and other sculptures be displayed outdoors in gardens instead of inside palaces, homes or museums.
