Rodin's *The Thinker* originated as part of his monumental sculpture *The Gates of Hell* in the 1880s, initially titled *Le Penseur* and meant to represent Dante Dante Alighieri contemplating the scenes below. The pose—chin resting on hand, muscles tensed, gaze downward—has become the universal symbol of human contemplation and intellectual struggle, reproduced in countless museums and popular culture references worldwide.
