An Italian bronze sculpture of the famous Flying Mercury after the Flemish-Italian sculptor Giambologna. Inscribed J. de Bgne, on the base. The statue depicts Mercury, the messenger of the gods, recognizable by his winged sandals, winged hat, and the caduceus held in his left hand. Mercury is balanced on the tip of one foot, pushed upward by a gust of wind from the mouth of Zephyrus, creating a sense of weightlessness and upward motion. This specific version is mounted on a decorative circular base featuring a bas-relief frieze, accented by marble or onyx borders. Giambologna, 1529 to 1608, also known as Jean de Boulogne, Jehan Boulongne and Giovanni da Bologna, was the last significant Italian Renaissance sculptor, with a large workshop producing large and small works in bronze and marble in a late Mannerist style.
