Damned Women

Damned Women


Damned Women is a sculpture created by Auguste Rodin between 1885 and 1890 as part of his The Gates of Hell project - it appears on the upper right as the counterpart to The Fallen Caryatid[ It shows two embracing women, which is the theme of lesbianism, which at times appears in his images of paired women: The Metamorphoses of Ovid, Damned Women (1885), and Illusions received by the Earth.
