	About Auguste Rodin
		In 1875, still determined to gain acceptance into the Paris Salon, Rodin created a sculpture of a Belgian soldier, titled "The Vanquished." After being accused of "faking" the sculpture by taking a cast of a live model (which he did not do), he travelled back to Paris and submitted the sculture to The Salon.
		It was now titled "The Age of Bronze," and, as was the case in Belgium, Rodin was once again accused of using a cast of a live model.
		Rodin returned to commerical sculpting, and created his next major sculpture, titled "John The Baptist." He intentionally made the sculpture on a larger than normal scale to prevent anyone from accusing him again of casting a live model.
