Dante's Divine Comedy has inspired some of the most famous artworks throughout history, though few people actually know the origins of their inspiration. Rodin's lifelong love affair with Dante's work resulted in some of his most passionate and moving statues, including (from bottom left) " "The Kiss", depicting the infernal lovers Paolo and Francesca, and "The Thinker"- a portrait in stone of Dante which was originally titled "The Poet." Kayleen leads seasonal tours on Rodin and Dante at the Cantor Collection at Stanford University and at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco. Check back for upcoming dates
