Though it is impossible to tell, I think, this is inspired by Auguste Rodin. I have just discovered how much I enjoy his work. Check out his wikipedia page, its very interesting.
His Gates of Hell are especially cool, inspired as they are by Dante's Inferno. Some of Rodin's most famous sculptures, like The Thinker and The Kiss, are enlarged versions of figures on these gates.
I was lucky enough to go to Florence only a few weeks ago and see Lorenzo Ghiberti's Gates of Paradise, which were the inspiration for Rodin's piece.
