Mercury Riding Pegasus, Stone sculpture in Tuileries Garden, France
The 315-centimeter tall sculpture represents Mercury mounting the mythological winged horse Pegasus, carved with precise details in the stone surface.
Antoine Coysevox created this sculpture between 1698 and 1702 for the park of Marly before its transfer to Tuileries Garden in 1719.
The sculpture combines Roman mythology elements through Mercury, god of commerce and communication, with Pegasus, the symbol of poetic inspiration.
Located in the first arrondissement of Paris, the sculpture stands in an area of Tuileries Garden with wheelchair-accessible paths for visitors.
The marble sculpture forms a pair with Fame Riding Pegasus, both originally designed to decorate a water basin balustrade.
