Description
After Giambologna (Flemish 1529-1608), a Monumental Patinated Bronze Figure of Mercury, Late 20th Century. One of the most well known statues from the Renaissance era, this Mercury statue is a copy after a celebrated design by Giambologna created around 1564. Giambologna designed this statue as part of a fountain for the Medici in the Villa Medici in Rome. The head represented below symbolized the figure being "exhaled, purified, unburdened." Mercury was a messenger and a god of trade, profit, and commerce. In this example Mercury leaps forward on one leg while gracefully pointing upward with his arm, creating an elegant silhouette. This example created in the late 20th century was the fountain at the entrance of Stallone's Beverly Hills home and was also on display at his Miami home.Approximately: 135" x 70" x 20"
