This bronze sculpture (1900–1909) by Antoine Bourdelle depicts Hercules during his sixth labor, aiming at the Stymphalian birds. Modeled on athlete Paul Gustave André Doyen-Parigot, it reflects Archaic art influences with exaggerated musculature and a dynamic pose. The piece captures the tension and energy of the moment the arrow is released, showcasing Bourdelle’s skill in conveying movement and strength.
