"Mercury and Argos" is a Baroque painting by the Italian artist Girolamo Troppa, created in the 17th century. The artwork depicts the mythological tale from Ovid's Metamorphoses, where Mercury, the messenger of the gods, is sent by Jupiter to slay Argos Panoptes, the hundred-eyed giant. The narrative illustrates the cunning of Mercury, who lulls Argos to sleep with the playing of his lyre before fulfilling his deadly mission.

Girolamo Troppa (1637–1710) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, active mainly in Rome and the surrounding regions. He was known for his dynamic compositions and his ability to convey dramatic narratives through his work. "Mercury and Argos" is a testament to Troppa's skill in capturing the essence of Baroque art, characterized by its vivid expression, movement, and use of light and shadow to achieve a sense of depth and three-dimensionality.

The painting is significant for its artistic representation of the myth and its reflection of the cultural and artistic milieu of the time. It showcases Troppa's mastery of oil painting and his ability to translate complex stories into compelling visual scenes. The work is also notable for its exploration of themes such as deception, power, and the divine intervention of the gods in human affairs.

"Mercury and Argos" remains an important piece within Troppa's oeuvre and contributes to the broader understanding of Baroque painting techniques and thematic concerns. The painting is appreciated not only for its historical and mythological relevance but also for its aesthetic qualities and the insight it provides into the artistic trends of 17th-century Italy.
