"Petase: A Mythological Journey through Art and Sculpture" Step into the enchanting world of Petase, where myth and art intertwine to create captivating masterpieces. From the majestic Mercury riding Pegasus, known as the Horse of Marly in 1701-02, to Juno receiving the head of Argus in a mesmerizing oil painting, each piece tells a story that transcends time. In 1776, witness the enthralling encounter between Mercury and Argus depicted in a stunning bas-relief. The intricate details bring this ancient tale to life before your eyes. Moving forward to the 1930s, marvel at an exterior bas-relief featuring Mercury from one of fourteen magnificent buildings constructed during that period. As we delve deeper into Petase's collection, "America Guided By Wisdom" catches our attention with its lithographic brilliance. Engraved by Benjamin Tanner in 1815, it portrays Mercury guiding America towards enlightenment and knowledge. The craftsmanship continues to astound us with "Mercury Attaching his Winged Sandals, " sculpted meticulously from marble in 1744. This masterpiece captures both grace and strength as Mercury prepares for his legendary flights across the heavens. Through delicate pencil strokes comes another depiction of Mercury's allure - a portrait simply titled "Mercury. " The artist skillfully captures every nuance of this mythical figure's countenance. Transport yourself back to early eighteenth-century France with "Mercury on Pegasus (Le Cheval de Marly). " Crafted from marble between 1701-02, this sculpture showcases their timeless bond as they soar through celestial realms together. In Hermes Descending - rendered beautifully using pencil and watercolor - we witness yet another facet of Mercury's persona. His descent is graceful yet powerful; he exudes an aura that captivates all who gaze upon him. A whimsical illustration from Festkalender published in Leipzig provides a delightful glimpse into Mercury's mischievous nature.
