European Sculpture
Comprising European sculpture from the twelfth through the early twentieth centuries, LACMA’s collection is famed for its Renaissance and baroque polychrome sculptures. Of particular note are the French eighteenth-century terra-cottas, with examples of the work of Tuby, Clodion, Chinard, and Pajou. The nineteenth century is richly represented with sculptures by David d’Angers, Rude, Carrier-Belleuse, Dalou, Falguière, and above all, Auguste Rodin; works by Rodin and Bourdelles are installed in the renovated B. Gerald Cantor Sculpture Garden.
