Camille Claudel was a French sculptor who died in relative obscurity, but has gained recognition for the originality and quality of her work. Claudel is known for such sculptures as The Waltz, The Mature Age, others; the national Camille Claudel Museum in Nogent-sur-Seine opened in 2017, the Musée Rodin in Paris has a room dedicated to her works. Camille Claudel was born in Fère-en-Tardenois, Aisne, in northern France, the first child of a family of farmers and gentry, her father, Louis-Prosper Claudel, dealt in mortgages and bank transactions. Her mother, the former Louise-Athanaïse Cécile Cerveaux, came from a Champagne family of Catholic farmers and priests; the family moved to Villeneuve-sur-Fère. Her younger brother Paul Claudel was born there in 1868. Subsequently, they moved to Bar-le-Duc, Nogent-sur-Seine, Wassy-sur-Blaise, although they continued to spend summers in Villeneuve-sur-Fère, the stark landscape of that region made a deep impression on the children. Camille moved with her mother and younger sister to the Montparnasse area of Paris in 1881.

Her father remained behind. Claudel was fascinated with stone and soil as a child, as a young woman she studied at the Académie Colarossi, one of the few places open to female students, she studied with sculptor Alfred Boucher. In 1882, Claudel rented a workshop in Paris with Jessie Lipscomb, Emily Fawcett and Amy Singer, the daughter of John Webb Singer, whose foundry in Frome, made large-scale bronze statues that are familiar today. Several prominent Frome works are in London, including the Boadicea group on the Embankment, which graces the lawn in front of the Houses of Parliament, the figure of Justice atop the Old Bailey. General Gordon on his camel at Chatham Barracks was cast in Frome, as were the eight lions that form part of the Rhodes Memorial in Cape Town. Claudel visited the families of her fellow sculptors. All of these English friends had studied at the South Kensington Schools – that would become the Royal College of Art – before moving to Paris to be at the Academie Colarossi, where they had all met.

Claudel prolonged her stay with Singer's family in Frome. Alfred Boucher had become Claudel's mentor, provided inspiration and encouragement to the next generation of sculptors such as Laure Coutan. Claudel was depicted by Boucher in Camille Claudel lisant, she sculpted a bust of her mentor. After teaching Claudel and the other sculptors for over three years, Boucher moved to Florence. Before he left he asked Auguste Rodin to take over the instruction of his pupils. Rodin and Claudel met, their artistic association and the tumultuous and passionate relationship soon began. Claudel became a source of inspiration for him, she acted as his model, his confidante, his lover. She never lived with Rodin, reluctant to end his 20-year relationship with Rose Beuret. Knowledge of the affair agitated her family her mother, who detested her for not being a boy and never approved of Claudel's involvement in the arts; as a consequence, Claudel left the family home. In 1892, after an abortion, Claudel ended the intimate aspect of her relationship with Rodin, although they saw each other until 1898.

Le Cornec and Pollock state that after the sculptors' physical relationship ended, she was not able to get the funding to realise many of her daring ideas - because of sex-based censorship and the sexual element of her work. Claudel thus had to either depend on Rodin, or to collaborate with him and see him get the credit as the lionised figure of French sculpture, she depended on him financially after her loving and wealthy father's death, which allowed her mother and brother, who disapproved of her lifestyle, to maintain control of the family fortune and leave her to wander the streets dressed in beggars' clothing. Claudel's reputation survived not because of her once notorious association with Rodin, but because of her work; the novelist and art critic Octave Mirbeau described her as "A revolt against nature: a woman genius." Her early work is similar to Rodin's in spirit but shows imagination and lyricism quite her own in the famous The Waltz. Louis Vauxcelles states that Claudel was the only sculptress on whose forehead shone the sign of genius like Berthe Morisot, the only well-known female painter of the century, that Claudel's style was more virile than many of her male colleagues'.

Others, like Morhardt and Caranfa, saying that their styles had become so different, with Rodin being more suave and delicate and Claudel being vehement with vigorous contrasts, which might have been one reason for their break up, with her becoming his rival. Claudel's onyx and bronze small-scale, it has a decorative quality quite different from the "heroic" feeling of her earlier work. After Rodin saw Claudel's The Mature Age for the first time, in 1899, he reacted with shock and anger, he and stopped his support for Claudel. According to Ayral-Clause, Rodin might have put pressure on the ministry of fine arts to cancel the funding for the bronze commission; the Mature Age is interpreted as an allegory of the three stages of life: the man who represents Maturity is drawn into the hands of the old woman who represents Old Age and Death, while the young woman who represents Youth tries to save him. Her brother interpreted it as an allegory of her break with Rodin. Angelo Ca
