Le Moyne de Sainte-Hélène

This sculpture portrays Jacques Le Moyne de Sainte-Hélène (1659–1690), one of Quebec’s military heroes, after defeating British Admiral Phips in a naval battle in 1690. Hébert’s dynamic composition conveys a sense of victory and the national pride of French Canada. Exhibited in the 1914 Canadian Art Club exhibition, one critic described it as “finely conceived and strongly executed.”
