The Passionate Soul

This bas-relief has been sculpted for the atrium of the Theater of Champs Elysees by the sculptor Antoine Bourdelle. The piece is now kept in the Museum Bourdelle which is located in the 15th arrondissement of Paris located in the old studio of the French sculptor. The museum is a great example of how French ateliers looked like in the 1900's. During his life as an artist, Bourdelle even worked in Rodin's atelier for 15 years. This collaboration did not influenced the artist, he always shows a strong independence and innovative, at times controversial, style.

这件浅浮雕（bas-relief）由雕塑家安托万·布德尔（Antoine Bourdelle）为香榭丽舍剧院中庭创作。该作品现收藏于布德尔博物馆（Museum Bourdelle），这座博物馆坐落于巴黎十五区，其馆址原为这位法国雕塑家的旧工作室。该博物馆是展现20世纪法国艺术工作室（atelier）风貌的绝佳范例。在艺术家生涯中，布德尔曾在罗丹的工作室工作长达15年。这段合作并未对其创作产生影响，布德尔始终保持着强烈的独立性与创新性，其作品风格时而带有争议性。
