Catalog of an exhibition held at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Mons, Belgium from April 13 to August 18, 2024.

"In the spring of 2024, the BAM (Museum of Fine Arts of Mons), with the support of the Musée Rodin, will dedicate an exhibition to the French sculptor Auguste Rodin (1840-1917). The exhibition provides a new interpretation of his work from the point of view of Belgium, a fertile soil that has allowed his art to flourish. The exhibition is curated by Antoinette Le Normand-Romain, general director of the Institut national d'histoire de l'art (INHA), and Christina Buley-Uribe, art historian.The exhibition shows sixty sculptures and an equal number of drawings, paintings and engravings. The works, mainly from the Musée Rodin and other international institutions, but also from private collections, will be compared in a new dialogue with those of the artists who influenced Rodin during his stay in Belgium. We are talking about the artists of the Renaissance, and in particular Michelangelo and Rubens."
