Have a run-in with Hermes Farnese and his lovely cheeks this #BumDayMonday
#GreekRomanArt #Hermes #Mercurius

Marble statue of Hermes wearing small chlamys and winged sandals; caduceus in left hand; left hand and much of legs restored. The statue is a 1st century CE Roman copy of a famous type created in the school of the Greek sculptor Praxiteles in the fourth century BCE. Together with a statue of Apollo, this sculpture once framed the central doorway of the gallery in the Palazzo Farnese in Rome.
