After Edme Dumont (French, 1761-1844): a cast metal Figure of Milo of Croton, attempting to split the oak tree, made from a bronze-like copper alloy, approx 40cm tall - Milo of Croton was a legendary athlete from the 6th century BC. When walking in the forest, Milo came across a split tree trunk and to demonstrate his immense strength he attempted to tear the trunk apart. The tree closed upon his hands trapping him, and unable to free himself he was devoured by wolves. Dumont submitted his marble sculpture of Milo of Croton to the Academy in 1768 and it is now in the Louvre
