EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing sculpture titled "Marcellus as Mercury" created by the talented artist Cleomenes in the 1st century BC. The artwork, currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, is an adaptation of a portrait head on a statue known as the Classical Greek Ludovisi Hermes type. In this detailed close-up, we are presented with Marcellus personifying Mercury, although he has been variously identified as Germanicus, Caesar, and Octavian. The marble sculpture beautifully captures his noble features and striking expression. Marcellus was an influential figure during his time (43-23 BC), and this piece serves as a testament to his power and importance. The drapery surrounding him adds an element of elegance to the composition while emphasizing his masculinity. Although partially nude, there is no sense of immodesty or vulgarity; instead, it highlights Marcellus' physical strength and divine connection. As we admire this remarkable artwork through Bridgeman Images' lens, let us appreciate its historical significance and artistic brilliance. It invites us to delve into ancient Roman culture while marveling at Cleomenes' skillful craftsmanship. This photograph print allows us to bring home a piece of history that will undoubtedly enrich any art lover's collection.
