Mercury, mid-18th century - A Timeless Tribute to the Messenger of Gods
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white etching, created by Anne-Claude-Philippe de Caylus in the mid-18th century, beautifully captures the essence of Mercury. Known as the messenger of gods in Roman mythology, Mercury was revered for his swiftness and agility. In this full-length portrait, Caylus skillfully portrays Mercury's divine attributes with meticulous attention to detail. The etching showcases a male figure exuding grace and power. With his winged sandals and caduceus staff held firmly in hand, Mercury stands tall against a simple background that emphasizes his commanding presence. Caylus' artistic prowess shines through as he expertly captures every nuance of Mercury's form - from the intricate folds of his flowing robe to the subtle contours of his face. This masterpiece pays homage not only to Mercury but also to Michelangelo Buonarroti himself, whose influence can be seen in Caylus' meticulous execution. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art today, this print serves as a testament to both French heritage artistry and classical mythology. It invites viewers into an enchanting world where gods walked among mortals and messages were carried on swift wings. As we gaze upon this timeless depiction of Mercury, we are reminded of our own capacity for communication and connection – just like this god who bridged heaven and earth.
