The captivating world of "caducee" is a mesmerizing journey through ancient mythology and timeless art. From the majestic sculpture of Mercury riding Pegasus, known as the Horse of Marly, to the intricate tapestry depicting Hercules Initiating the Olympic Games, each piece tells a story that transcends time. In the oil on canvas masterpiece titled "Mercury and Argus, " we witness the cunning messenger god outsmarting his hundred-eyed foe with his enchanting flute. The bronze statue of Mercury from 1580 showcases his graceful pose and delicate features, capturing his essence as both a divine being and a symbol of commerce. As we explore further, we encounter a bas-relief depicting Mercury adorning one of fourteen magnificent buildings built between 1931-40. This architectural marvel pays homage to this iconic figure who guides us in matters of communication and trade. In Benjamin Tanner's lithograph entitled "America Guided By Wisdom, " we see how Mercury's influence extends beyond ancient times into shaping nations. His wisdom leads America towards progress and prosperity. The ideal figure of Hermes Trismegistus transports us to an ethereal realm where knowledge intertwines with spirituality. This illustration from Festkalender published in Leipzig captures the enigmatic nature of this mythical deity. Apollo takes on an intriguing form in an engraving from 1589 - that of having a dog's head. This depiction challenges our perception while highlighting Apollo's multifaceted character as both godly musician and protector. Once again, we find ourselves enchanted by another rendition featuring Mercury on Pegasus - Le Cheval de Marly carved meticulously from marble between 1701-02. The sheer beauty emanating from this sculpture leaves us breathless. "Hermes Descending" invites us into its world through pencil sketches accompanied by watercolors. It offers glimpses into Hermes' celestial descent onto Earth, bridging realms with grace and elegance.
