The work process of Medardo Rosso is a great source of inspiration. After the realization of Ecce Puer (1906), Rosso’s working process underwent a drastic change. From then on he focused more on writing, he analyzed his work and used photography in the process. He made new casts of his sculptures and he made series executed in different materials with changes and additions that arose in the working process. In this way he continued to elaborate and vary on his own work, which from naturalistic became much more of an impression. He set himself the goal of capturing that which is transient and can only be perceived fleetingly. During his working life, from the early 1880s to 1928, Rosso created approximately two hundred sculptures of at most thirty-five different subjects.
