Charging Bull Statue - Iconic Wall Street Landmark & Symbol of Financial Power #1641269 (License: Personal Use)

This life-sized bronze sculpture by Arturo Di Modica depicts a muscular bull in mid-charge, its head lowered and hooves planted firmly on cobblestones. Installed illegally in 1989 as a guerrilla art piece, it quickly became an enduring icon of financial markets, representing aggression, prosperity, and unwavering optimism. Today, it draws thousands of visitors daily near the New York Stock Exchange and is often adorned with protest signs or seasonal decorations.
