One of its rare 19th-century original casts belongs to the permanent collection of Calouste Gulbenkian Museum.

One of its largest marble versions belongs to the National Museum of Decorative Arts in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Rodin originally conceived of Eternal Springtime as part of The Gates of Hell, one of the representations of Paolo Malatesta and Francesca da Polenta, but did not include it there because the happiness expressed by the lovers did not seem appropriate to the theme.

Rodin took the woman's torso, with its arched pose, from the Torso of Adele that appears in the upper left corner of the tympanum on The Gates of Hell;[1] the model was Adele Abruzzesi, originally from Italy, and for the man Lou Tellegen.

An 1884 version is now on display at the National Museum of Decorative Arts, bought when the palace was a private residence around 1911.
