"Man with a Broken Nose" (French: "L'Homme au nez cassé") is a notable work by the French sculptor Auguste Rodin, created in the mid-1860s. This sculpture represents one of Rodin's earliest attempts at realistic portraiture and is significant for its departure from the idealized forms that were prevalent in the art of the period. The subject of the work is a local Parisian handyman named Bibi, who had a notably disfigured nose, which Rodin chose to depict with unflinching accuracy.

The sculpture is a bust that captures the rugged features and asymmetry of a face marked by life's hardships, a stark contrast to the classical representations of human beauty. This piece is often regarded as a precursor to Rodin's mature style, where he embraced physical imperfections and emotional depth in his figures. The work was initially rejected by the Paris Salon because it defied the academic norms of the time, which favored idealization over realism.

"Man with a Broken Nose" is cast in bronze, a medium that Rodin would come to master. The original plaster model was damaged, with the back of the head missing, but Rodin decided to cast it in this state, further emphasizing the theme of imperfection and the incomplete nature of human experience. The sculpture's raw and expressive quality reflects Rodin's interest in capturing the character and soul of his subjects.

Today, "Man with a Broken Nose" is recognized as an important work in Rodin's oeuvre and is held in several museum collections, including the Musée Rodin in Paris. It stands as a testament to Rodin's innovative approach to sculpture and his influence on modern art.
