Rosa, Salvator (1615-1673)

Landscape with Mercury and the Dishonest Woodman, after 1649. Oil on canvas, 125.7 x 202.1 cm. An honest woodman who had lost his axe was rewarded by Mercury with a golden one when he denied that his own had been of precious metal. A dishonest woodman thereupon claimed that he had lost a golden axe; Mercury recovered it and showed it was merely of iron (Aesop's I/I). Bought, 1837 (NG84).
