The sculpture, created by Balthasar Permoser in 1713, shows a tense battle between Hercules and a huge snake. The hero fighting the snake with his bare hands is depicted in a dynamic pose. His muscles are tense and his face shows determination and concentration. The sculpture symbolizes the strength and courage of Hercules, but also his fight against evil and danger.
Together, the two sculptures complement the other Hercules sculptures in the avenue and show the hero in further facets of his life.
