"Milon de Crotone" is a celebrated marble sculpture by the renowned French artist Pierre Puget, created in the period from 1671 to 1683. The sculpture portrays the ancient Greek athlete Milo of Croton, known in antiquity for his extraordinary strength and athletic prowess. Rendered in Baroque style, Puget captures the final moment of the Milo's life, a tale of tragic hubris, as per an account by the Roman scholar Pliny the Elder.

In Pu's dramatized depiction, the legendary athlete is presented being devoured by a lion and a wolf. Milo, who was famed for his exceptional strength, came to his demise when he tried to split a tree trunk that he found in the wilderness. The trunk snapped shut, trapping his hands, which left him vulnerable to the predatory animals that would ultimately end his life.

Through this work, Puget exhibits the transience of physical strength and mortal glory. The muscular tension and physical angst in 'Milon de Crotone' considered a masterpiece of Baroque sculpture, powerfully illustrates the struggle and agony of the trapped athlete. The piece stands as a tangible reminder of the transitory nature of human strength and life itself.

This sculpture is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. As a significant work of Pierre Puget, it plays a critical role in the understanding of 17th-century French sculptural art.
