French sculptor born in 1840 (5)

I believe the answer is:

rodin

(Other definitions for rodin that I've seen before include "Sculptor (for the thinking man!)" , "French sculptor of The Kiss, d. 1917" , "Auguste -, French sculptor" , "French artist manually" , "Sculptor of The Thinker and The Kiss" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
