This statue was made with handtools.
His name is Claude.
The wood is basswood.
Claude Gellee was born in 1600 in Lorraine France.
Auguste Rodin sculpted his monument in 1889.
Claude is also known as Claude Lorraine. He moved to Rome as a young man.
Most of his paintings are of the Italian countryside and Italian ports especially at sunset.
I downloaded Claude's 3D file from the Thingiverse and resin printed him 2" tall.
The digital model below was made using a RevoPoint 3D camera and a turntable.
It is a huge file and it may take a long time to open.
You can rotate and zoom the model using a mouse or touch screen finger gestures.
