Messenger of the gods · Travel, cunning and transmission
Hermes, who became Mercury in Rome, crosses the borders between gods and mortals, protects travelers and leads messages, exchanges and metamorphoses.
Son of Zeus and Maia, Hermes is messenger of Olympus, guide of travelers, protector of traders and conductor of souls. Mercury retains this exceptional mobility in Rome. The winged petasis, sandals, caduceus and purse make his silhouette immediately readable. Velázquez concentrates Mercury and Argos in a tense silence before the murder of Io's guardian. Veronese transforms the story of Hersé and Aglauros into a colorful theater. Dosso Dossi transforms the story of Hersé and Aglauros into a colorful theater. Dosso Dossi gives him an enigmatic role with Jupiter, while Jordaens shows the traveling god welcomed by Philemon and Baucis. The selection "Paintings of Mercury and Hermes" compares Mercury and Argos - Diego Velázquez and Hermes, Hersé and Aglauros - Paul Veronese.
Mercury is the god of passage: he crosses distances, translates wills and connects worlds that would remain separate.
