Nel frattempo, nella vita di Auguste Rodin
Tutta la vita1904–1912
An affair with the Marquise de Choiseul
The ageing Rodin's infatuations were brief, except for his affair with the French-American Marquise (later Duchess) de Choiseul, which lasted from 1904 to 1912. Later he called her an “evil genius” on whom he had spent seven years of his life.

1912–1917
The photographer Pyotr Shumov
In 1912–1917 the Russian-French photographer Pyotr Shumov worked closely with Rodin, photographing about 150 of his works and about 60 portraits and scenes from the sculptor's life.
1914
“The Cathedrals of France” is published
Rodin's long love of medieval cathedrals found its way into a book. The art historian Bernard Champigneulle noted that, without architectural training, he showed a superb intuitive grasp of Gothic architecture, though his prose is heavy going.
1914
A gift to Britain
Encouraged by the enthusiasm of British artists, students and high society for his art, Rodin donated a selection of his works to the nation in 1914.
1914–1915
Trips to Rome for the bust of Benedict XV
In 1914 and 1915 Rodin travelled to Rome to make a bust of Pope Benedict XV.
