The statue group, Polyphemus Surprising Acis and Galatea, by Auguste-Louis-Marie Ottin, was added to the middle of la Fontaine Médicis when it was relocated in 1862.
  

La Fontaine Médicis was commissioned in the 1630s by Marie de Médicis to remind her of the grotto in the Boboli Gardens she enjoyed in her childhood in Florence.
