Panel VIII
Caption: "Rodin drew upon it for his Thinker for the Gate of Hell. This personage, isolated against the background of the cloudy sky and nailed to his demoniacal base which is formed by the devils who cling to him, is worthy of the fertile imagination of Dante and is one of the figures whom Michelangelo assigned a protagonist's role. The artist did this, not because the figure represented a person recognizable in historic reality or legend, but because it attained a symbolic value of the passions and feelings with which it was invested."
