This is absolutely not a photo of Rodin AFAIK, more likely some analogue or maybe from a TV series about his life, etc. He actually looked more like this.

His main colleague (and sometimes romantic partner) of course was Camille Claudel, who might also be mentioned, as artists often shape other artists. She was another genius sculptor who had a bit of a sad life I’m afraid, yet she’s remember fondly, today.
