The Gates of Hell was commissioned by Rodin in1880, but he didn't complete this sculpture until 1899. This was actually supposed to be the gates of a museum but the museum was never built. Due to the failure of the museum, Rodin never finished the sculpture as he planned to. In 1925 eight years after Rodin passed the bronze casts of the plaster model were created. I chose this piece by rodin because of the elaborate work he did and how no matter what you believe in the gates to the under world could look like this.
