EDITORS COMMENTS
Image 5 of 13: Janiform Herm with Young Male and Female Fauns, 1st century B.C.-1st century A.D. This ancient bronze sculpture, known as Janiform Herm with Young Male and Female Fauns, dates back to the 1st century B.C.-1st century A.D. The creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, adding to the mystery and intrigue surrounding this work of art. The sculpture depicts Hermes, the ancient Greek god of trade, commerce, and thieves, in a unique form known as Janiform. Hermes is shown as a hermaphrodite, with both male and female attributes. In this representation, he is dressed in a chiton and himation, typical attire for ancient Greek deities. The figure of Hermes is flanked by two young fauns, one male and one female. Fauns were woodland spirits in ancient Roman and Greek mythology, often depicted as half-human, half-goat creatures. The male faun holds a cornucopia, a symbol of abundance and prosperity, while the female faun plays a lyre, an ancient musical instrument. This sculpture is a prime example of the fusion of Greek and Roman art, as well as the influence of Etruscan art, which was prevalent in Italy during this time period. The intricate details and lifelike forms of the figures demonstrate the advanced skill and artistry of the ancient artisans who created this piece. This bronze bust is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), located in Los Angeles, California, USA. It is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the ancient world and a reminder of the enduring influence of classical art on modern culture.
