Summary

Description
English: Jorgen Dreyer copied "Mercury Flying" by Giambologna (1580) for the Kansas City Life Insurance building lobby. Instead of a zephyr's breath suspending Mercury, Dreyer has a wave, similar to the Goddess of Dawn (1932) in the Hotel Phillips in Kansas City. On the circumference of the pedestal is a quote from Horace, Satires 2.6: "NO MORE I ASK, O SON OF MAIA, BUT THAT YOU MAKE THESE GIFTS MY OWN FOR LIFE." Mercury ("SON OF MAIA") in this context is the bringer of good fortune.
