About this work
Rodin intended The Gates of Hell (based on Dante’s The Divine Comedy ) to be the great work of his life. It was never executed as originally planned, but Rodin created a number of sculptures for the project that were later treated separately. Among them was this group of three nude women entitled The Sirens .
