Bågskytten Milles

The Bågskytten sculpture features a male figure with a bow standing on top of a black granite eagle mounted on a 12-meter stone column.

Carl Milles started creating this sculpture in 1913 during pre-World War I tensions and completed the final version in 1919 after the war ended.

The sculpture combines elements of Nordic and classical art through the representation of an archer figure positioned atop an eagle, a symbol of power.

Visitors can observe the sculpture's details from multiple angles while exploring the surrounding gardens that complement the artistic experience.

The sculpture demonstrates the physical tension of an archer at the moment before releasing an arrow, captured in bronze at a monumental scale.
