Summary

Description
English: Jacques de Wissant is one of the six figures in Auguste Rodin's Le Bourgeois de Calais ("The Burghers of Calais") assemblage, commissioned in 1884 by the Municipal Council of the town of Calais, France, to commemorate an event in 1346, during the Hundred Years War, in which six of Calais' leaders volunteered to give up their own lives so that the English King Edward III would lift his siege of the city. This bronze statue in the Jardin du Musée Rodin in Paris was cast from a plaster model that was made in 1888. (Source: Musée Rodin)
