The bronze sculpture “La Danaide”, originally created by Auguste Rodin in 1885, stands as a poignant symbol of beauty entwined with mythological tragedy. This exquisite piece captures the moment of despair and exhaustion as one of the Danaïdes, daughters of King Danaus, collapses in a graceful, almost dreamlike pose. Her form embodies both vulnerability and allure, a hallmark of Rodin’s profound ability to express deep emotion through the human body. With her cascading hair and fluid, languid posture, she draws the viewer into the eternal sorrow and futility of her fate—condemned to forever carry water in a vessel that can never be filled.

This faithful reproduction of “La Danaide” was sculpted and signed by Portuguese artist Milo, honoring Rodin’s legacy while offering his own interpretation through delicate craftsmanship. Handmade using the traditional lost wax casting method, the sculpture is cast in genuine bronze and finished with a warm brown patina that highlights the intricate contours and texture of the figure. Every detail—from the soft curve of her shoulders to the expressive lines of her face—speaks to the emotional weight and artistic mastery behind the piece.

Mounted on a sleek black marble base, the sculpture is ideal for collectors of classical art and lovers of mythological narratives alike. It serves not only as a stunning decorative piece but also as a timeless meditation on effort, sorrow, and feminine grace. A deeply moving work, this sculpture resonates with viewers and adds an unmistakable depth and elegance to any fine art collection.
