T01662014528
A supremely talented young artist whose remaining legacy is now worth millions of pounds, Claudel sprang to notoriety at the age of 19 for her relationship with Auguste Rodin. Their passionate affair bore world-famous works of art but soon cost both more than they could imagine, with Claudel ultimately destroying much of her own work and living out her remaining years in an asylum.
