EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a bas relief of Mars, the allegory of the planet, found in the Sacrament Chapel or Chapel of the Planets within the magnificent Malatesta Temple in Rimini. Created by renowned artists Agostino di Duccio and Matteo de'Pasti during the Early Renaissance period, this stunning low relief piece combines elements from various styles and periods including Renaissance-Baroque. The artwork depicts a male figure representing Mars, surrounded by symbolic imagery that evokes both military and mythological themes. The central figure is portrayed on horseback, emphasizing his terrestrial power as he holds a sword and wears armor. A loyal dog accompanies him on this celestial journey. The architectural details are equally impressive, with pilaster strips adorned with acanthus leaves and festoons of vegetation creating an exquisite frame for this masterpiece. A shield bearing a wreath further enhances its grandeur. Dating back to approximately 1450-1456 AD, this bas relief captures the essence of early Renaissance artistry while also incorporating Greco-Roman influences such as Zeus/Jove. Its intricate design reflects Europe's rich cultural heritage during both millennia. Captured in black-and-white photography around 1920-1930 AD by Brogi from Alinari, this image preserves not only the artistic brilliance but also serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history. It invites viewers to marvel at how ancient civilizations merged divinity with earthly existence through visual representation. Whether you appreciate fine art or have an interest in mythology and history, this photograph offers a glimpse into one of Italy's most remarkable religious structures while celebrating artistic achievements that continue to inspire generations today.
