After Antonio Canova "Mercury" Bust Sculpture - (30.8lbs)

Mercury bust sculpture, after Canova.

A classic marble bust of Mercury, wearing helmet decorated with his customary wings.

"Mercury is a major Roman god, being one of the Dii Consentes within the ancient Roman pantheon. He is the patron god of financial gain, commerce, eloquence (and thus poetry), messages/communication (including divination), travelers, boundaries, luck, trickery and thieves; he is also the guide of souls to the underworld. He was considered the son of Maia and Jupiter in Roman mythology."

Our Mercury bust sculpture represents the delicacy and artistic prowess of Antonio Canova as leader of the neoclassical movement.
