Bronze Mercury Flying, after the Flemish sculptor Jean de Bologne (1529-1608), signed on the terrace.
This artist is known for his numerous mythological sculptures and his career with the Medici.
Mercury, god of commerce, thieves and messenger of the gods, is represented in a position that borders on the disruption of balance. The author draws the inspiration for this figure from the ballets that Catherine de Medici offers to her court.
This protagonist is wearing a winged petasus. His arm is raised to the sky and holds a purse between his fingers. Supported on the tip of his foot, he is thrown by the winds of the god Aeolus.
The original work, dating from 1580, is kept in the Museo Nazionale del Bargello in Florence, Italy.
The set rests on a pedestal, in black marble and chiseled bronze, with a rotating decoration of putti in their workshop.
Imbued with poetry and symbols, “Flying Mercury” is a work that will appeal to lovers of mythology.
