EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating marble sculpture "Mercury on Pegasus (Le Cheval de Marly)" by Antoine Coysevox takes center stage in this stunning photo print. Standing at an impressive height of 326 cm, the artwork is proudly displayed at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. Intricately crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this masterpiece showcases Mercury, the messenger god of Roman mythology, mounted on the majestic winged horse Pegasus. Adorned with a helmet and winged sandals, Mercury exudes power and grace as he holds his caduceus - a symbol of peace and commerce. At Mercury's feet lie trophies of war, reminding us of his role as a protector and bringer of victory. The sculpture's allegorical nature invites contemplation on themes such as heroism and triumph over adversity. Originally located in the Jardin des Tuileries until its relocation in 1986, "Mercury on Pegasus" continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty. Its presence evokes a sense of awe and wonderment within those fortunate enough to witness it firsthand. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to Coysevox's exceptional talent as a sculptor. Through his skilled hands, he has immortalized both Mercury and Pegasus in stone - forever capturing their mythical essence for generations to come.
