Weight 39 kg

This exquisite bronze sculpture, Hermes - Messenger of the Gods, is a captivating rendition by the renowned Flemish sculptor Giambologna, celebrated for his mastery of dynamic forms and fluidity. This piece showcases Hermes (or Mercury, in Roman mythology), the messenger god known for his swift agility, wisdom, and eloquence. In this iconic depiction, Hermes is portrayed mid-flight, with his body angled in a graceful stance that captures a sense of ethereal movement. His left foot rests delicately on a breath of wind atop a mask symbolizing the North Wind, while his raised right hand points toward the heavens, conveying his role as a divine herald between gods and mortals.

The figure is adorned with Hermes’ signature attributes—the winged helmet and winged sandals, symbolizing his unmatched speed and capability to traverse realms unseen. In his right hand, he holds the caduceus, the staff entwined by two serpents, which represents peace, commerce, and balance, integral symbols of Hermes' role as a god of both diplomacy and trade. Every detail of this sculpture, from the intricate feathers on his helmet to the subtle musculature of his form, is meticulously crafted, highlighting Giambologna's attention to anatomical precision and artistic elegance.

Giambologna originally designed this piece in the 16th century, during the height of the Mannerist period, known for its departure from the restrained forms of the Renaissance and embrace of exaggerated poses that evoke movement and emotion. This sculpture stands as an exemplary representation of Mannerist art, with its spiral twist of Hermes' body—a technique known as serpentinata, which draws the viewer’s eye upwards, enhancing the illusion of flight.

Cast in lustrous bronze, this sculpture has a rich patina that accentuates the details and gives it an antique, timeless quality. The warm tones of the bronze bring a sense of life to Hermes' form, capturing light and shadow in a way that emphasizes the fluidity of his pose. This statue not only honors Hermes as the swift-footed messenger but also celebrates Giambologna’s artistic genius, capturing a moment frozen in time yet seemingly in perpetual motion.

Hermes - Messenger of the Gods would be an elegant addition to any art collection, a timeless masterpiece that not only pays homage to the mythology of the past but also speaks to the mastery of human creativity. It serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of classical forms, the beauty of movement in stillness, and the transcendent power of myth and art combined.
