EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Mercury Lulling Argus to Sleep" transports viewers into a world of ancient mythology and artistic mastery. Painted by Ubaldo Gandolfi in the late 18th century, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 218.4x136.2 cm and is housed at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, USA. In this scene from Greek mythology, Mercury, the messenger of the gods, skillfully lulls Argus to sleep with his enchanting music. The painting beautifully captures the tension between life and death as Mercury holds a sword while playing a lute, symbolizing both his power as a god and his ability to bring peace through music. Gandolfi's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the intricate rendering of each figure to the realistic depiction of animals surrounding them. The composition exudes betrayal and treachery as Argus unknowingly succumbs to eternal slumber under Mercury's watchful gaze. This extraordinary artwork not only showcases Italian artistry at its finest but also serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with ancient myths and legends. It was acquired by the North Carolina State Art Society through generous funds from Robert F. Phifer Bequest in memory of Robert Lee Humber. As we admire this stunning print captured by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded that art has the power to transport us across time and space, allowing us to delve into stories that have captivated generations for centuries
