Meet Camille Claudel, a French sculptor born in 1864, who defied conventions with her art and life.

Claudel's talent was evident from childhood, but her family's move to Paris in 1881 opened doors to artistic opportunities.

At the Académie Colarossi, Claudel studied with Alfred Boucher and met Auguste Rodin, who became both her mentor and lover.

Her sculptures, like 'The Mature Age' and 'The Waltz,' showcased her unique style and emotional depth, but also her struggles with isolation and poverty.

Despite mental illness and confinement, Claudel's art continued to thrive, leaving behind a legacy of genius and tragedy.
