The Prodigal Son at The V&A, London

This is a bronze sculpture by Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) created in 1905.
Taut as a bow string, this male figure originated in the Ugolino group , designed for the The Gates of Hell . Placed upright for the man in Fugit Amor , the head and torso belong to one of the children of Ugolino, reworked with different legs. The head was again re-used in Head of Sorrow . This method of composing new works out of pre-existing fragments was central to Rodin’s creative process.
The enlargement of the work is even more dramatic and its form is perfectly in keeping with the subject borrowed from the New Testament parable of the spendthrift son who returns home to throw himself at his father’s feet and beg his forgiveness for the ingratitude with which he had previously treated him. By highlighting certain details of this figure, like the hands, and by placing it in an unbalanced position, Rodin infuses this sorrowful body with the irrepressible fervour of a final prayer.
