Camille Claudel at Work: Sakountala

Celebrating the 160^th anniversary of Camille Claudel's birth, the Camille Claudel honours the sculptor through one of her major works: Sakountala. 

The exhibition "Camille Claudel at Work: Sakountala" delves into the creation of this masterpiece with a tumultuous history. Inspired by Hindu mythology, the artist's very first monumental sculpture experienced both success and controversy before falling into oblivion.
Gathering nearly 100 objects, the exhibition revisits the creative process of Sakountala, its reception history, its literary inspiration, and the many variations Camille Claudel proposed at the end of her career.

With exceptional loans from the Rodin Museum, the National Library of France, and the Orsay Museum has been labeled "Exhibition of National Interest" by the French Ministry of Culture.
