About the sculpture
The inscription states that this figure was commissioned by the Venetian scholar Marcantonio Michiel and begun on 14 February 1527. His horoscope for 15 June appears on the bronze disc. With Mercury, the god of eloquence, in the ascendant, it was probably intended as a favourable omen for Michiel, who was hoping to gain a seat in the Venetian Senate.
