People familiar with the unconventional realism style of French sculptor Auguste Rodin will recognize the bronze “Eustache de Saint Pierre” in front. This cast was one of the figures in “The Burghers of Calais” ensemble finished in 1889. It depicts the capitulation of Calais to England in 1347 when the town leaders were forced to surrender wearing nooses around their necks.
