This fresco (1517–18) depicts Mercury, messenger of the gods, in dynamic flight. His winged helmet and caduceus emphasize his role as divine intermediary. The lively composition, set amid abundant garlands, reflects Renaissance interest in classical mythology, harmony, and the union of nature with divine order.
