Hello,

I am looking for the name of the small but pretty well known sculpture from of a strong man rolling a huge stone. I can not remind the artist name nor the title of the skulpture. I think he did it in his young years. But who was it ... ?! oh man... :\

can someone understand me and knows it?

thank you

Are you talking about the Sisyphus myth (http://stripe.colorado.edu/~morristo/sisyphus.html) (le mythe de Sisyphe) ? It's somewhat of a popular topic for sculptors..

hello egerie!

thank you, I think that is it! But I could not find that one skulpture I am looking for. I still do not know how it is exactly named and who did it. But google image search showed that image, that is pretty close to the skulpture I am looking for:

any more ideas?
thank you a lot!
