Modell von Pietro Tacca (1577-1640). Die Darstellung geht auf die antiken Legenden der Taten des Herkules zurück. Acheloos, der älteste und vornehmste der griechischen Flussgötter, Sohn des Okeanos und der Tethys, verwandelte sich in einen Stier. Herkules jedoch überwand ihn und brach ihm eines der Hörner ab. Die Legende ist seit der Antike vielfach in Bild und Plastik dargestellt worden. Eine jüngere Darstellung im Gemälde schuf Cornelis van Haarlem (1562-1638) 1590, in einer ähnlichen Zusammenstellung von Stier und Herkules.
Die hier angebotene Bronzefigur zeigt den antiken Helden mit lockigem Bart, nur mit einem Löwenfell bekleidet, über den Stier gebeugt den er zu Boden gebeugt hat. Die Gruppe auf einer geschweiften mitgegossenen Rasenplinthe. (12818115) (11)
