About this model
This is a cropped copy of the Hermes and Infant Dionysos, also called the Hermes of Olympia or Hermes of Praxiteles. Scholarship is divided over whether this is a Greek original by famed sculptor, Praxiteles, a Roman copy of his statue, or the work of a lesser-known sculptor of the same name. If it is a Greek original, its survival is unique. The right arm of Hermes is lost, but it is likely that he held a bunch of grapes which he wistfully dangled in front of the baby Dionysos, god of wine and intoxication. Interestingly only one ancient writer, Pausanias, considered the Hermes of Praxiteles worthy of mention
