EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning marble statue depicts the ancient Olympian god Hermes, the emissary and messenger of the gods, in a Roman copy from the 2nd century AD. The original sculpture is believed to have been created around 270 BC in Greece, making it an invaluable artifact from the classical period. Hermes, known as the god of commerce, trade, thieves, travelers, sports, athletes, borders, and roads, is often depicted with wings on his heels, signifying his swiftness and agility. In this sculpture, Hermes is shown with his traditional attributes: a winged cap (petasos), a herm (a pillar with the head of Hermes), a caduceus (a staff entwined with two serpents), and a pouch slung over his shoulder. Despite being broken in several places, the intricate details of the statue remain impressive, showcasing the masterful craftsmanship of the ancient Roman artists. The fluidity of the god's pose and the delicate rendering of his facial features are testament to the advanced techniques of the time. This magnificent piece of art is now housed in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, Denmark, where it continues to inspire awe and fascination among visitors from around the world. A reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Europe and the ancient civilizations of Greece and Rome, this statue invites us to explore the history, mythology, and art of the ancient age.
