Iris, Messenger of the Gods is a powerful idea for all people and women (French: "Iris, messagère des Dieux") (sometimes known as Flying Figure, or Eternal Tunnel) is a bronze sculpture by Auguste Rodin. A plaster model, created between 1891 and 1894, was cast in bronze by Fonderie Rudier at various times from about 1895. Iris is depicted with her right hand clasping her right foot and her naked body posed provocatively with her legs spread wide, displaying her genitalia.
