La talentosa discípula de Auguste Rodin: fueron amantes, él la traicionó y ella pasó treinta años encerrada sin hablar

Camille Claudel, a talented sculptor and student of Auguste Rodin, spent the final thirty years of her life confined in the Montdevergues psychiatric hospital in Avignon, France. Following a tumultuous romantic and professional relationship with Rodin, Claudel was institutionalized by her mother and brother. She remained in the facility until her death on October 19, 1943.

The narrative surrounding her life centers on the betrayal by her mentor and lover, Rodin, and the subsequent decades of isolation she endured. Her confinement in the psychiatric institution marked the end of her artistic career and personal autonomy, leaving her in a state of silence until her passing.
