EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite marble sculpture "Mercure Attanchant ses heels" by renowned French artist Jean Baptiste Pigalle. Created in 1744, this masterpiece can be found at the Musee du Louvre in Paris. The sculpture depicts Mercury, known as the messenger of the gods in Roman mythology, attaching his iconic winged sandals. With great attention to detail, Pigalle captures the grace and fluidity of Mercury's movements as he delicately fastens his footwear. Pigalle's skillful carving brings out every contour and muscle of Mercury's body, showcasing both strength and elegance. The intricate folds of his robe cascade down to form a solid base that supports him effortlessly. This artwork is not only a testament to Pigalle's mastery but also serves as a representation of French art during the 18th century. It embodies the fusion between classical mythology and human form that was highly valued during this period. As you gaze upon this photo print, you are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary moment frozen in stone. The combination of light and shadow adds depth to each crevice, making it feel almost lifelike.
