A Bronze Interpretation of Rodin’s The Kiss
Rodin’s The Kiss is admired for the way two separate figures are brought together in a single flowing composition. The sculpture does not rely only on the embrace to communicate emotion. Its visual strength also comes from the movement of the shoulders, arms, backs and legs, as well as the balance created between the two bodies.
In a bronze reproduction, these details can be emphasized through the weight and depth of the metal. A dark bronze finish gives the sculpture a classical, dignified appearance, while an aged green patina creates a more historical look that works particularly well in gardens and architectural settings.
This is a modern reproduction made by YouFine. It is not presented as an original work or an official museum edition.

Highly Detailed Muscle and Posture Reproduction:
Based on our production experience, the most challenging part of reproducing The Kiss is not simply carving or casting individual muscles. The real difficulty is preserving the natural relationship between the two intertwined figures.
The positions of the shoulders, arms, waist and legs must work together. A small change in one area can affect the balance and visual movement of the entire sculpture. It is also not enough for the sculpture to look convincing from the front. The proportions of the sides and back must remain natural because this type of sculpture is often viewed from every direction.
Before casting, YouFine’s artists study available dimensions and multi-angle references of the original composition. A full clay model is then created and repeatedly checked from the front, sides and back. The artists continue adjusting the anatomy, body transitions and spaces between the figures before the model moves to the next production stage.
Custom Sizes for Different Spaces
Rodin’s The Kiss sculpture is not limited to one fixed height. YouFine can adjust the sculpture according to the customer’s placement space and preferred visual effect. A previous custom version of The Kiss was produced at approximately 1.6 meters high for a private collector.
When recommending a size, we normally consider:
-
Whether the sculpture will be placed indoors or outdoors;
-
The dimensions of the room, garden or entrance;
-
The distance from which it will usually be viewed;
-
Whether a pedestal will be added;
-
Access, transportation and installation conditions.
For a private interior, a moderate size may feel more intimate and make the details easier to appreciate. In a large garden, villa courtyard, hotel or exhibition space, a larger sculpture and elevated pedestal can create a stronger visual presence.
If you provide the dimensions or photographs of the intended location, our team can recommend a suitable sculpture height and pedestal proportion.

A Brief Background of Rodin’s The Kiss
Rodin originally developed the embracing couple as Paolo and Francesca, two figures from Dante’s Divine Comedy. The group was later separated from The Gates of Hell and became an independent sculpture. The French state commissioned the enlarged marble version in 1888.
The original marble work in the Musée Rodin measures approximately 181.5 cm high. More information about the original sculpture is available from the Musée Rodin collection.
