Description
The Flying Mercury Statue. Hermes by Giovanni da Bologna (1529-1608). The messenger of the gods and patron of commerce and trading, winged Mercury speeds through the skies carrying the caduceus that symbolizes both immunity during war and the practice of medicine. Bologna, working in the Medici court in Florence in 1580, composed his subject in the figura serpentine that masterfully guides the eye across our quality designer resin sculpt to fully admire each detail, finished here in a rich faux bronze.
