Rare French Antique Bronze Sculpture “Mercury” by Pierre Marius Montagne
By Pierre Marius Montagne
Located in Shippensburg, PA
An exceedingly fine casting of Mercury Preparing to Decapitate Argus cast after the model by Pierre Marius Montagne, it is most commonly called simply "Seated Mercury", a title that loses all of the implied vience and context of the pensive young man. The model was conceived in 1867 and exhibited under the fl title of Mercure s'apprêtant à trancher la tête d'Argus at the Salon the same year in plaster as no. 2394 and at the Exposition Universelle of 1867 (no. 232). It was acquired for 3000 francs by the French Government in June of 1867 and an example was then commissioned in marble by the Minister of the House of the Emporer and the fine Arts in August of 1868 for 5000 francs paid the flowing year. This statue was exhibited at the Salon of 1869 (no 3601) and the Exposition Universelle of 1878 (no 1359). It features an all-over hammered surface that accentuates the skin with inordinately exquisite texturing. The casting is above reproach with crisp details that are finished with a rich dark-brown patina punctuated by a ruby undertone that comes through the intentionally relieved surface. Derived from Ovid's Metamophoses, the myth revves around the paramour of Jupiter, the young woman Io that he seduced and transformed into a white heifer in order to protect her from his jealous wife, Juno. When she learned of this, Juno commanded the giant Argus of the Peloponnesian city of Argos, a price who had one hundred eyes, to stand guard over her. It was a task he was perfectly suited for with fifty eyes that remained open and alert at any given moment. Jupiter sends Mercury to assassinate Argus and free the young Io, first by lling the watchman to sleep with the sound of his woodwind flute...
