After Jean de Boulogne aka 'Giambologna' Flying Mercury

a large patinated bronze figure, on a stepped square base, 50cm wide, 95cm deep, 168cm high, Giambologna's 'Flying Mercury' is among the most celebrated sculptural inventions of the late Renaissance. The composition was developed through several versions, culminating in the celebrated bronze of circa 1580, now in the Bargello, Florence. Poised upon the breath of Zephyr, Mercury appears almost weightless, his elongated figure twisting upwards in an elegant 'figura serpentinata'. Designed to be viewed from multiple angles, the model perfectly embodies the movement, balance and technical virtuosity characteristic of Giambologna and Florentine Mannerism.
