I chose this sculpture because I was interested in researching about it. It has become a popular image, but I was not too sure about it. Auguste Rodin created "The Thinker", inspired by Dante who is known for his famous books such as the Inferno, and the Divine Comedy. Rodin was influenced by Michelangelo, which you can see by the characteristics it displays, such as his strong stance and the aesthetic "The Thinker" gives off with his dynamic pose. The one thing with this sculpture, is that his right arm is twisted and seems uncomfortable positioned on his knee.
