"Mercury 1611" is a renowned engraving by the Dutch artist Hendrick Goltzius (1558–1617), a leading figure in the Northern Mannerist movement of the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The work, completed in 1611, is part of a series of engravings that depict mythological figures and scenes, showcasing Goltzius's exceptional skill in the art of engraving.

The engraving portrays Mercury, the Roman messenger of the gods, known for his speed and as a patron of commerce, thieves, and travel. In this work, Goltzius captures the dynamism and fluidity associated with the god through intricate lines and a masterful use of chiaroscuro, which enhances the three-dimensional effect of the figure. Mercury is typically depicted with his characteristic attributes: winged sandals (talaria) and a winged hat (petasos), both of which are prominently featured in Goltzius's depiction.

Goltzius's Mercury 1611 is not only a testament to his technical prowess but also reflects the intellectual and cultural milieu of the Dutch Golden Age, where classical mythology was a prevalent theme in art and literature. The engraving is a prime example of Goltzius's ability to blend the classical ideal of beauty with the complex, often exaggerated forms characteristic of Mannerism.

The work is held in high esteem by art historians and collectors alike, and it is considered one of Goltzius's masterpieces. It is housed in various art institutions and museums around the world, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and historical significance.
