EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the essence of the Statue of Ares/Mars, the formidable god of war. Created by Scopas in the 4th century BC, this Roman copy now resides in the Palazzo Altemps National Roman Museum. The statue depicts Ares seated, his sword and helmet symbolizing his power and authority. At his feet rests Eros/Cupid, representing both love and desire amidst the chaos of war. The intricate details brought to life by Giovanni Battista Cannetti's copperplate engraving showcase the majesty of this ancient masterpiece. The image evokes a sense of antiquity as it transports us back to an era where gods ruled over mortal affairs. In this portrayal, Ares stands as a mythological figure embodying strength and masculinity. His presence serves as a reminder of ancient pagan beliefs and polytheistic religions that once held sway over society. The nudity depicted in this artwork reflects both artistic tradition and divine divinity. It highlights not only physical beauty but also vulnerability in its bareness. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of Rome's rich cultural heritage and its reverence for artistry throughout history. This engraving is a testament to human creativity that transcends time, allowing us to appreciate the skillful craftsmanship behind these magnificent statues that continue to captivate our imagination today.
