15th Century Ancient Rome Deity Gemini Greco Roman Mythology Herm Hermes Manuscript Illumination Roman Twin Virgin Virgo
EDITORS COMMENTS
This 15th-century German manuscript illumination showcases the Roman god Mercury in all his divine glory. Positioned at the right side of the print, Mercury stands tall and proud, exuding an aura of power and wisdom. His presence is further emphasized by his two zodiac signs, Gemini and Virgo, which hover above him. Mercury's association with Gemini highlights his duality as a deity - symbolizing both intellect and communication. The twin figures represent this aspect perfectly, showcasing Mercury's ability to traverse between different realms effortlessly. On the other hand, Virgo represents purity and fertility, emphasizing Mercury's connection to nature and abundance. The intricate details in this artwork are truly remarkable. Every stroke of the brush brings out the richness of Greco-Roman mythology that has captivated generations for centuries.
