"The Attributes of the Arts with a Bust of Mercury" is a notable still-life painting by the French artist Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin, created around 1728. Chardin, renowned for his masterful still lifes and genre paintings, was a pivotal figure in 18th-century French art, and his work is characterized by a quiet, reflective quality and meticulous attention to detail.

This particular painting is an example of Chardin's skill in depicting inanimate objects with a sense of life and texture that elevates them beyond mere representation. The composition features a collection of objects associated with the arts, such as musical instruments, books, and artist's tools, arranged in a harmonious and balanced manner. Central to the work is a bust of Mercury, the Roman god associated with communication, eloquence, and commerce, which may symbolize the transmission and patronage of the arts.

The painting's execution demonstrates Chardin's adept use of light and shadow, creating a tangible sense of volume and space. His palette is subdued, yet rich, allowing each element within the composition to contribute to the overall sense of unity and contemplation. "The Attributes of the Arts with a Bust of Mercury" not only reflects Chardin's artistic prowess but also serves as a window into the values and cultural milieu of the Enlightenment in France.

As a significant work in Chardin's oeuvre, the painting is often discussed in the context of his influence on the development of still life as a respected genre in fine art. It is held in high esteem for its aesthetic qualities and as an exemplar of Chardin's contribution to the Rococo movement and its transition to Neoclassicism. The painting is frequently studied for its emblematic representation of the arts and as an artifact of 18th-century artistic thought and philosophy.
