EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite sculpture of "Mercury (bronze)" by Ferdinand Barbedienne. Standing at a height of 100 cm, this masterpiece is held in a private collection, its beauty preserved for art enthusiasts to admire. Inspired by Giambologna's original model, Barbedienne skillfully captures the essence of Mercury, the Roman god known as the messenger between gods and humans. The sculpture depicts Mercury in mid-stride, his muscular body frozen in motion as if caught during an important errand. With his caduceus held firmly in hand, he exudes power and grace. The high renaissance influence is evident in every detail of this classical artwork. The intricate craftsmanship highlights the mannerist style prevalent during that era. As one gazes upon this figurine, they are transported back to a time when mythological deities were revered and celebrated through art. This print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind this sculpture but also its historical significance. It serves as a reminder of how mythology played an integral role in shaping ancient cultures' beliefs and values. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this stunning piece from their extensive collection without any mention of commercial use or affiliation with any specific company. Through eChristies Images, we can now enjoy this timeless representation of Mercury's divine presence forever immortalized through art.
