"Mercury with Herse and her Sisters" is a neoclassical painting by the French artist Antoine-Jean Gros, completed in 1791. The painting depicts a mythological scene drawn from Ovid's "Metamorphoses," showcasing the Roman god Mercury (Hermes in Greek mythology), who is known as the messenger of the gods, in the act of leading Herse and her sisters. Herse, a figure from Greek mythology, was one of the daughters of Cecrops, the mythical king of Athens. The narrative captured in the painting revolves around Mercury's infatuation with Herse, which leads to a series of divine and mortal interactions.

Gros, a student of Jacques-Louis David, was a prominent painter in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, known for his historical and neoclassical themes. "Mercury with Herse and her Sisters" exemplifies Gros's early work, where he adheres to the strict neoclassical style characterized by clear lines, smooth brushwork, and a focus on idealized beauty and harmony. This painting is a testament to Gros's ability to convey narrative through classical composition and his skillful use of color and form to express the drama and emotion of mythological subjects.

The artwork is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its place within the context of Gros's career, as it predates his later transition to a more Romantic style, which would become evident in his more famous works such as "Napoleon Bonaparte Visiting the Plague-Stricken in Jaffa." "Mercury with Herse and her Sisters" remains an important example of the neoclassical movement and provides insight into the evolution of Gros's artistic journey. The painting is held in a notable collection, though the specific institution housing the work may vary, and it continues to be studied for its classical references and contribution to the neoclassical genre.
