EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from 1482 titled "MERCURY" offers a mesmerizing allegorical representation of the planet Mercury. Crafted by the talented artist Bernhard Maler, this piece was created for an edition of Gaius Julius Hyginus Poeticon Astonomicon and printed in Venice, Italy. The artwork depicts Mercury, known as Hermes in Greco-Roman mythology, riding a magnificent chariot pulled by winged horses. As the deity of communication, commerce, and transportation, Mercury is portrayed here with utmost grace and power. The late Renaissance style adds depth to the intricate details of his flowing robes and elaborate headdress. With its occult symbolism intertwined within zodiacal imagery, this woodcut invites viewers into a world where mythological figures come alive through art. The attention to detail in Maler's work showcases his mastery over the medium while capturing the essence of Mercury's divine attributes. As you gaze upon this historic print, let your imagination soar alongside Mercury on his celestial journey across the heavens. Feel inspired by his swift movements that symbolize quick thinking and adaptability - qualities often associated with those born under this planetary influence. This Granger Art on Demand reproduction allows us to appreciate both the artistic skill of Bernhard Maler and our fascination with ancient mythology. Let it serve as a reminder that even centuries later, these timeless representations continue to captivate our hearts and minds.
