Primary Materials:
* Bronze: This was his most frequent material. He often used the lost wax casting technique to create his bronzes, achieving a high level of detail and realism.
* Terracotta: Rodin frequently used terracotta for preliminary sketches and studies. It allowed him to quickly capture his ideas and experiment with forms.
* Marble: He used marble for some of his finished pieces, though less often than bronze. Marble allowed for a more polished and classical finish.
* Plaster: Rodin used plaster for models and molds, which were often used to create finished pieces in other materials.
Other Materials:
* Wood: Occasionally used for small-scale pieces or studies.
* Wax: Used in the lost wax casting process for bronze sculptures.
* Stone: In addition to marble, Rodin also worked with other stones, like limestone and granite.
Rodin was known for experimenting with materials and pushing the boundaries of traditional sculpture. He often combined different materials in a single piece, exploring the textures and qualities of each.
