Bellona

In 1879, the City of Paris organised a competition to create an image to represent the French Republic. Rodin submitted a portrait bust of his life companion Rose Beuret, showing her in a fit of rage. This grumpy, surly and obstinate French republic was the very opposite of what was expected, and Rodin lost the competition. But his bust soon won admiration and was cut in marble and cast in several copies.   These 3D scans have been produced with an Artec Eva with the ambition to produce a digital representation as close to the original as possible. However, the presented scans are not to be regarded as duplicates as due to inaccessible areas etc deviations from the original might occur Photography Credit : CC BY-SA 4.0 / Nationalmuseum
