''L'Âge d'Airain'' (The Age of Bronze) is a life-size bronze sculpture created by the French artist Auguste Rodin. Conceived in 1876 and first exhibited in 1877, the work marked Rodin's foray into a more naturalistic approach to sculpture, diverging from the prevalent academic traditions of the time. The piece depicts a young male figure in a natural standing pose, with a hand draped over his head, evoking a sense of awakening or emerging consciousness.

The sculpture's title, ''L'Âge d'Airain'', refers to the Bronze Age, but it also plays on the French word ''airain'', meaning both "bronze" and "brazen." This double entendre may suggest a commentary on the boldness required to break from traditional artistic norms. Rodin's work was initially met with controversy, as critics accused him of having cast the piece from a living model due to its striking realism, an allegation that Rodin vehemently denied. The controversy eventually subsided, and the sculpture was recognized for its artistic merit, contributing to Rodin's reputation as a pioneering modern sculptor.

The figure's pose does not represent a particular mythological or historical narrative, which was a departure from the common practice of the era. Instead, Rodin focused on expressing the human condition and emotion through the physical form. The naturalistic detail and the dynamic surface texture of ''L'Âge d'Airain'' showcase Rodin's skillful handling of the medium and his innovative approach to capturing the subtleties of muscle, flesh, and movement.

Today, ''L'Âge d'Airain'' is considered one of Rodin's significant early works, exemplifying his contribution to modern sculpture. It is held in various collections worldwide, with casts displayed in several major museums. The piece remains a testament to Rodin's legacy as an artist who challenged the conventions of his time and laid the groundwork for future generations of sculptors.
