EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite bronze sculpture of Mercury, created by the renowned artist Benvenuto Cellini. Standing at an impressive height of 96 cm, this masterpiece is housed in the Museo Nazionale del Bargello in Florence, Italy. The photograph, skillfully captured by eRaffaello Bencini, beautifully highlights the intricate details and craftsmanship of this iconic artwork. Mercury, known as Hermes in Greek mythology, is depicted as a youthful and athletic figure with wings on his helmet and feet. The Renaissance influence is evident in this piece, as it exudes a sense of grace and elegance. The nude portrayal of Mercury symbolizes his divine nature while emphasizing his physical prowess. His petasus adds a touch of classical authenticity to the sculpture. Innocence radiates from this image as we witness the timeless beauty that transcends generations. The presence of children further emphasizes Mercury's role as a protector and guide for young souls. As we admire this work through A&Raffaello Bencini's lens, we are transported to a world where gods walk among mortals. This print serves not only as a testament to Cellini's artistic genius but also reminds us of our connection to ancient mythologies that continue to inspire us today.
