"Études de nus (planches vraisemblablement refusées pour Le Jardin des supplices d'Octave Mirbeau)" is a series of nude studies created by the renowned French sculptor Auguste Rodin between 1899 and 1900. These works were ostensibly intended for an illustrated edition of "Le Jardin des supplices" (The Torture Garden), a controversial novel by Octave Mirbeau published in 1899. The novel, known for its decadent themes and critique of colonialism, was a literary work that explored the depths of human cruelty and eroticism.

Rodin, who was at the height of his artistic career during this period, was sought after for his expressive and innovative approach to the human form. His studies for "Le Jardin des supplices" reflect his interest in capturing the raw emotion and movement of the body, often pushing the boundaries of traditional sculpture and drawing techniques. The series of nudes Rodin produced for this project are characterized by their loose, gestural lines and the artist's focus on the play of light and shadow, which imbue the figures with a sense of vitality and immediacy.

Despite the synergy between Rodin's artistic sensibilities and Mirbeau's literary vision, the drawings were reportedly rejected for publication with the novel. The reasons for this rejection are not entirely clear, but it is speculated that the explicitness of Rodin's nudes or the potential for scandal may have played a role. Nevertheless, these works stand as a testament to Rodin's mastery of the human figure and his willingness to engage with the provocative themes of his time.

Today, "Études de nus" is recognized as an important part of Rodin's oeuvre, offering insight into his creative process and his contributions to the evolving world of modern art at the turn of the 20th century. The series also serves as a fascinating historical intersection between visual art and literature, reflecting the broader cultural and aesthetic movements of the fin de siècle.
