EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite masterpiece titled "Mercury and Argus" a creation of the renowned Ginori Porcelain Factory. The factory, which has been active since 1735, continues to produce exceptional works of art to this day. Inspired by models crafted by Giovanni Battista Foggini between 1652 and 1725, this particular piece is believed to have been made by Gaspero Bruschi around 1750-1760. Crafted in Doccia, just outside Florence in Italy, this hard-paste porcelain sculpture stands as a testament to the skill and creativity of its makers. Measuring approximately 45.1 x 33 x 28 cm (1 ft. 5¾ in. x 1 ft. 1 in. x11in. ), it is adorned with polychrome enamel decoration and delicate gilding. The intricate details depicted on this artwork are truly awe-inspiring; they depict Mercury engaging with Argus, capturing a moment filled with tension and intrigue from Greek mythology. This scene was expertly painted in the shop of Johann Karl Wendelin Anreiter von Zirnfeld, an Austrian artist who worked at Ginori Porcelain Factory between1739-1745. As you gaze upon this remarkable photo print, you can appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance behind each brushstroke that brings Mercury and Argus to life once more.
