Presented here is the enigmatic Hermès du Belvédère, a plaster cast believed to have been created by the renowned Keller brothers in the late 17th century. Originally thought to represent Antinous, Emperor Hadrian's beloved, the statue was later reidentified as Hermes, the divine messenger. Its journey from esteemed display to its current resting place in the Petite Écurie at Versailles remains shrouded in mystery, with questions surrounding its original purpose and the reasons for its relocation. The weathered surface and subtle imperfections narrate a tale of time's passage, echoing the transient nature of glory and beauty.
