I didn't find any information about the statue yet, only that the building of the Austrian national library, a part of imperial palace complex, was built by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach in 1722.
The identity of Atlas is confirmed in a paper of the Austrian national library about its famous collection of globes.
