EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print dating back to 1739, we are transported to a world where myth and reality intertwine. The central figure of Mercury, the messenger of the gods, hovers in a cloud as he hands over an envelope to a young boy who is assisting a man with his records. This intriguing scene takes place against the backdrop of four personifications representing America, Africa, Asia, and Europe. As our eyes wander through this intricate composition, we notice various ground objects that symbolize trade, shipping, and justice. A loaded camel stands prominently in the foreground while images related to Suriname catch our attention. The meticulous detail captured by printmaker Hendrik Post draws us deeper into this visual narrative. This old master print from the Kupferstich-Kabinett collection evokes curiosity about its origins and purpose. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance. Each element within the image holds meaning waiting to be deciphered – from Mercury's role as an intermediary between worlds to the presence of different continents signifying global connections. Art enthusiasts will appreciate how "Mercury in the Cloud" transports them back in time while simultaneously sparking their imagination. Its inclusion in Arkheia's collection further solidifies its value as an important piece of art history worth exploring for those seeking insight into past cultures and societies.
