Mercury, a Roman mythological god who is commonly identified with the Greek Hermès, the fleet footed messenger of the Gods.
This statue is a replica of a 16th century original by the celebrated Flemish sculptor Giambologna. The original statue of Mercury was made in 1580 to decorate the fountain of the sumptuous garden at Villa de Medici in Rome.
The original Mercury statue was made as a diplomatic gift for the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian the Second who considered Mercury his personal protector. Coins issued during the reign of Maximilian the Second have the image of Mercury which Giambologna based the pose of his Murcury statue.
