Notes | Original in the Drottningholm Palace in Sweden. According to Adam Jarzębski's "Short Description of Warsaw" from 1643, in the so called giardino secreto (secret garden) of the Villa Regia Palace in Warsaw there was a statue of Hercules fighting the centaur Nessus ("Za tym statuae cudowne, Nie złoteć, ale kosztowne, Z metalu są odlewane, Właśnie jakby malowane: Tu Herkules Nessa dusi, A on mu podlegać musi;"), it is possible that this statue was taken by Swedes from Warsaw and not from Prague. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
