Bronzeguss. Der antike Gott der Stärke und Kraft ist hier, auf einem Stein mit darübergelegtem Löwenfell sitzend, wiedergegeben, das rechte Bein zurückgewinkelt, das Linke leicht vorgestreckt. Die linke Hand hält die Keule, der rechte Arm vorgestreckt, in der Hand die von Herkules, der Sage nach geraubten Äpfel der Hesperiden. Das Haupt bärtig gezeigt, im Haar ein Kranz, dessen Bänder zu beiden Schultern herabziehen. Die für die Spätrenaissance und den frühen Barock typische Herkulesfigur geht in der Gestaltung auf römische Vorbilder zurück, wie etwa den „Torso von Belvedere“ oder auf eine ähnliche Bronzesitzstatue des Herkules, aus der römischen mittleren Kaiserzeit des 1./ 2. Jahrhunderts, nach griechischem Vorbild, eine Figur, die sich heute im Kunsthistorischen Museum in Wien befindet. Dunkle bis schwarze Patina. (1222167) (11)
