Accepted Answer

Camille Claudel was Rodin's student and lover — and a brilliant sculptor in her own right. When their relationship ended she collapsed; her family had her committed to a mental institution in 1913, where she stayed for 30 years until her death. She was only rediscovered in the 1980s.

Camille Claudel was Rodin's leerling én minnares — én een briljant beeldhouwer in eigen recht. Toen hun verhouding eindigde stortte ze in; haar familie liet haar in 1913 in een psychiatrische inrichting opnemen, waar ze 30 jaar bleef tot haar dood. Ze werd pas in de jaren '80 herontdekt.
