EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork "Mars standing outside the walls of Brussels" created by Hendrik de Clerck between 1580 and 1630. The piece, measuring 35.5x28.4 cm, is housed in the Maidstone Museum and Art Gallery in Kent, UK. In this ink and watercolour drawing, Mars, the Roman god of war, stands outside the fortified walls of Brussels, Belgium. He appears mostly naked except for a cloak draped over his right shoulder. In his right hand, he holds a burning torch symbolizing destruction and conflict. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he portrays Mars with intricate armor including a helmet and shield. The architectural elements of Brussels are also depicted with precision in the background. This painting captures both the power and vulnerability associated with war through its portrayal of Mars amidst an urban landscape. It serves as a reminder that even gods must confront their own limitations when faced with human-made structures such as city walls. The use of ink and watercolour adds depth to this illustration while enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal. De Clerck's mastery shines through in every brushstroke as he brings this mythological scene to life. Overall, this artwork offers viewers a glimpse into both historical events and artistic techniques prevalent during the late 16th century to early 17th century period in Europe.
