Mercury

Plurality of vision, absolutely freed from any geometric rule, above all from the rational and commensurable perspective of Brunelleschi's kind, finds masterly expression in the works of Giambologna's maturity, such as the Mercury, of which three versions are known: a synthesis of alternating rhythms, masterfully balanced in the darting torsion of the winged god.
