EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite sculpture of Hermes Longhios, a masterpiece from the Ludovisi Collection dating back to the 1st-2nd century AD. Crafted in marble by an unknown Roman artist, this striking statue depicts the god Hermes in all his glory. Standing tall and draped in flowing robes, Hermes exudes an air of elegance and power. His regal headress adds to his divine presence, while his muscular physique symbolizes strength and vitality. This remarkable piece was restored around 1600, preserving its timeless beauty for generations to come. Hermes is known as the messenger of the gods in Greek mythology, often depicted with wings on his sandals or hat. As an orator and communicator, he held great importance among both mortals and immortals alike. In this representation, Hermes stands confidently with one arm raised as if delivering a message or engaging in conversation. The artist's attention to detail is evident through every curve and contour of this magnificent sculpture. The play between light and shadow highlights each delicate feature - from Hermes' serene facial expression to his perfectly sculpted nude body. Displayed at Museo Nazionale Romano in Rome, Italy, this mesmerizing artwork continues to captivate viewers with its timeless allure. It serves as a testament to ancient craftsmanship and reminds us of humanity's enduring fascination with mythological figures like Hermes.
