EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite close-up image showcases the intricate details of the Marble Statue of Hermes by Praxiteles I, a renowned Attic sculptor from ancient Greece. Dated back to the 4th century BC, this masterpiece is considered one of the most famous works of Greek sculpture. The statue, which is believed to have been created around the 330s BC, depicts Hermes, the ancient Greek god of commerce, thieves, travelers, sports, and athletic contests, as well as the messenger of the gods. In this particular representation, Hermes is shown cradling the infant Dionysus, the god of wine, fertility, and ritual madness, on his arm. The lifelike expressions on both figures' faces convey a sense of tenderness and affection. Praxiteles, the son of Cephisodotus the Elder, was a leading sculptor of the Hellenistic period and is known for his innovative use of naturalism and realism in his works. This marble bust, with its delicate features and fine details, is a testament to Praxiteles' exceptional artistic skill and the enduring beauty of ancient Greek art.
