The Gates of Hell

''The Gates of Hell'' ((フランス語:La Porte de l'Enfer)) is a monumental sculptural group work by French artist Auguste Rodin that depicts a scene from "The Inferno", the first section of Dante Alighieri's ''Divine Comedy''. It stands at 6 metres high, 4 metres wide and 1 metre deep () and contains 180 figures. The figures range from high up to more than one metre (3 ft). Several of the figures were also cast independently by Rodin.
==History==

The sculpture was commissioned by the Directorate of Fine Arts in 1880 and was meant to be delivered in 1885.
Rodin would continue to work on and off on this project for 37 years, until his death in 1917.
The Directorate asked for an inviting entrance to a planned Decorative Arts Museum with the theme being left to Rodin's selection. Even before this commission, Rodin had developed sketches of some of Dante's characters based on his admiration of Dante's ''Inferno''.
The Decorative Arts Museum was never built. Rodin worked on this project on the ground floor of the ''Hôtel Biron''. Near the end of his life, Rodin donated sculptures, drawings and reproduction rights to the French government. In 1919, two years after his death, ''The Hôtel Biron'' became the ''Musée Rodin'' housing a cast of ''The Gates of Hell'' and related works.
