Stier, Bronze bull sculpture at Beursplein in Amsterdam-Centrum, Netherlands
The bronze statue represents a charging bull weighing 2500 kilograms, positioned with its head lowered in an attacking stance near the Euronext building.
Italian-American sculptor Arturo Di Modica placed this statue secretly during the night of July 4-5, 2012, without obtaining municipal permits for installation.
The bull symbolizes financial market strength and recovery, mirroring its counterpart on Wall Street as a representation of economic resilience during difficult times.
Visitors can find the statue on Beursplein square, which underwent redevelopment in 2017 while maintaining the bull's position as a central element.
The statue remained in place despite legal disputes over payment, following a court decision that required the buyer to complete the purchase agreement.
