!!The work of Auguste Rodin provide examples of the following:
* AncientTomb: The foundations of ''The Gates of Hell'' are two old tombs, representing that Hell is a land of death, the dead, and the ever-dying.
* ContrappostoPose: ''The Age of Bronze'' features a young man stretching with most of his weight on his left foot, with his right foot lifted slightly above the ground. His face is also half-turned to the right and he's raising his right arm that way to, so the whole thing creates the illusion of a man turning to look to his right.
* DeathOfAChild:
** More than a few dead infants and children are shown damned in ''The Gates of Hell''. This is in keeping with [[Literature/TheDivineComedy the source material]], where the protagonist struggles with the morality of damning unbaptized children.
** ''Ugolino and his Children'' are all dead from starvation or about to be.
* DissonantSerenity: In the chaotic context of ''The Gates of Hell'', ''The Thinker'''s calm look of deep thought seems very out-of-place. He is surrounded by a crowd of writhing sinners seemingly caught in mid-motion as skeletal figures push them around.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: Two of the ''The Burghers of Calais'' are standing tall with heads held high as they are lead to their death in chains.
* GardenGarment: As is typical of the time, the nude figure of ''St. John the Baptist Preaching'' is given a fig leaf to cover his manhood.
* HeavenAbove: You can tell ''St. John the Baptist ''(is)'' Preaching'' without knowing the tile because he is pointing up at the sky, indicating that there is the topic of his conversation. That would be enough for Rodin's audience to deduce the figure is talking about Heaven and He who resides there.
* {{Hell}}: ''The Gates of Hell'' do their best to capture Dante's ''[[Literature/TheDivineComedy Inferno]]'' in stone. Almost all of the figures are in poses emphasizing their terrible agony, whether they're crying in the arms of their damned lovers, fleeing from skeletons, or being crushed under the gates themselves.
* PublicDomainCharacter: He's sculpted quite a few historical figures, like the six volunteers to be executed at Calais or St. John the Baptist.
* PrimalStance: ''Ugolino and His Sons'' gets across that the subject is a vile man starved unto cannibalism by showing him walking over his children's corpses on all fours. He looks just like a wild animal with its mouth agape in hunger.
* SecurityCling: The couple in ''Fugitive Love'' are in clear distress as they strangely embrace for comfort. It also seems like they're being torn apart. Given they were included on ''The Gates of Hell'' as an adaptation of [[Literature/TheDivineComedy a couple eternally blown apart by a whirlwind]], odds that's what Rodin was going for.
