"The Thinker" was created by the French artist Auguste Rodin in the late 19th century. The pose is that a man at the gates of hell, a work of art in itself, based upon Dante's "Divine Comedy", however, the statue soon took on a life of its own, capturing the public imagination, and finding itself replicated many times over.
This version of the statue is located in the prestigious Fullerton Hotel (accessible without being a guest), near the main entrance, in Marina Bay. The Bay area of central Singapore is the classy, nightlife spot in the city, as well as an art and culture precinct.
