From 1595 to 1602 de Vries worked in Augsburg, where he produced the works for which, apart from the Mercury and Psyche group, he is probably best known: the bronze Mercury Fountain (1599) and the bronze Hercules Fountain (1596-1602), both of which are in Maximilianstrasse in Augsburg. Typologically, the more ornately executed Hercules Fountain represents a development of late 16th-century Florentine fountain designs.
