| Description |
English: Mercury, the messenger of the gods, is typically depicted as a youth with wings on his hat or feet. This monumental bronze statue, commissioned by Lorenzo Ridolfi in 1549 and completed in 1551, formerly stood at the center of the courtyard of the Palazzo Ridolfi in Florence. The inscription on the base states that the "Florentine friends Zanobi Lastricati and Ciano Compagni made the figure in order to learn." The latter was a perfume-maker employed by the duke of Florence, and, on the basis of an ancient marble sculpture of Mercury, he made a model, which Lastricati then used for casting the bronze. The inscription expresses the idea that the sculptures of antiquity represented an ideal worthy of imitation. The original pedestal was supported by bronze turtles, now in an American private collection. |
