The Age of Bronze (L'age d'airain) is a bronze statue by the French sculptor Auguste Rodin. The figure is of a life-size nude male. When first exhibited at the 1877 Salon in Paris, Rodin was falsely accused of having made the statue by casting a living model, a charge that was vigorously denied. This charge actually benefited Rodin though, because people were so eager to see this for themselves. Copies of the Age of Bronze can be found in several museums around the world, including the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin, The Rodin Museum in Philadelphia, Museum of Fine Arts (Budapest), The Columbus Museum of Art in Columbus, Ohio, the V&A in London, and the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa.
