the sculptors Auguste Rodin, Constantin Meunier and George Minne were the pioneers of a genuine sculptural revolution: lay the foundations of modern sculpture. paradoxically enough, this revolution was inspired by the past, and specifically the Middle Ages. at the end of the nineteenth century, artists began to reject classical, academic art and sculpture, which had been the norm for a century.
the medieval period was a major source of inspiration in this development. the three artists rediscovered the artistic heritage of that period and integrated it into their new vision of sculpture.
