專家說明

The original model upon which the bronze of Mercury is based was executed in 1564 by Giambologna (d.1608), court sculptor to the Medici dukes, and is now housed in the Museo Nazionale del Bargello, Florence. The female figure balancing upon the 'wheel of fortune', also known as Cérès et la Fortune, is by Louis Guillaume Fulconis (d. 1873), who attended the Avignon Academy of Art before exhibiting at the Salon between 1857 to 1872. Likely conceived as a pair to the figure of Mercury, both models are recorded in the catalogue of the Barbedienne foundry.
