The Spirit of Eternal Repose ( French: Le génie du repos éternel) [1] is a 1898–1899 sculpture of a sprite by French artist Auguste Rodin. [2]
The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston's Lillie and Hugh Roy Cullen Sculpture Garden has a bronze sculpture. The Houston Press called the work "curious, since the ankles are crossed as they might be when a person is relaxing, but the tilted angle of the torso is precarious and the muscular arms are very active indeed. It is enigmatic and wonderful." [3] It is one of three Rodin sculptures in the garden; the other two are Cybele (1890/1904) and The Walking Man (1877–1878). [3] Spirit of Eternal Repose is on long-term loan from Iris Cantor and the Cantor Foundation on behalf of B. Gerald Cantor. [2]
