EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving titled "Mercury" showcases the artistic talent of an unknown artist. The print, now part of a private collection, depicts the mythological character Mercury in all his glory. Known as Hermes in Greek mythology, Mercury was revered as the god of communication, commerce, and travel. In this intricate artwork, we see Mercury standing proudly beside his iconic transport vehicle - a chariot pulled by two majestic roosters. The coupling between man and bird symbolizes the harmonious relationship between humans and nature in ancient paganism. The attention to detail is remarkable; every feather on the roosters' wings seems to come alive under Giancarlo Costa's expert hand. As one gazes upon this engraving, it becomes evident that religion played a significant role in shaping society during that era. Mercury's presence exudes power and authority while also hinting at his mischievous nature. His winged helmet and sandals further emphasize his swift ability to traverse great distances with ease. This print serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and how mythology continues to inspire artists across generations. It invites us to delve into ancient tales where gods walked among mortals and birds were more than mere creatures but symbols of divinity itself.
