EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Roman copy of the Greek original sculpture attributed to Lysippos, depicting Hermes tying his sandal. The exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in this 1st or 2nd century AD marble artwork, which stands at an impressive height of 154 cm. Hermes, known as Mercury in Roman mythology, is portrayed here in all his divine glory. The Hellenistic god is depicted bending down gracefully, focusing on the task at hand - fastening his sandal. His muscular physique and flawless form are accentuated by his nudity, symbolizing purity and vulnerability. The artist skillfully captures the essence of Hermes' character through this masterpiece. With every line and curve meticulously sculpted, one can almost feel the energy emanating from this ancient deity. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever in stone. Displayed proudly at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, this work of art has stood the test of time and continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty. It serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with mythology and our eternal quest for artistic expression. This photograph from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the incredible talent of Lysippos but also provides a glimpse into an ancient world where gods walked among mortals – a testament to both human creativity and our innate desire for connection with something greater than ourselves.
