About the Item

Introducing a wonderfully impressive 19th-century Italian gilt bronze sculpture of Mercury, masterfully crafted after the renowned Renaissance artist Giambologna (1529-1608). This exquisite statue depicts Mercury, the Roman god of commerce and communication, elegantly poised atop a masque of Zephyr, the Greek god of the west wind. The dynamic pose and intricate detailing of this piece are modeled after Giambologna's original 1580 sculpture, which is housed at the Villa Medici in Rome. This magnificent figure showcases Mercury in mid-flight, his form beautifully balanced and imbued with a sense of motion and grace. The statue is meticulously patinated and gilded, highlighting the intricate craftsmanship and enhancing the overall visual appeal. Mercury's winged helmet and sandals, along with the caduceus he holds, are rendered with exceptional detail, capturing the essence of Giambologna's iconic work. The sculpture stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Renaissance art, bringing a piece of historical significance and artistic mastery into any collection. It is cataloged as exhibited in London, 1978, pp. 85, n° 34, further establishing its authenticity and value. In excellent condition, this bronze figure measures approximately 33.5 inches tall by 8 inches diameter making it a striking focal point in any room. Whether displayed in a private collection or a public gallery, this sculpture of Mercury is sure to captivate and inspire admiration for generations to come.

Very Large Bronze "Abduction of a Sabine Woman" After Giambologna, 19th Cent

By Ferdinando de Luca, Giambologna

Located in Paris, FR

The Sabine man, the Roman and the Sabine woman are all depicted naked. This staging plays on serpentine lines known as "figura serpentinata" and diagonals giving a beautiful variety of volumes and a multiplicity of angles of view. The bronze is signed F. De Luca...
