EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the mystical realm of Mars, the god of war. Illustrated by the talented Hans Thoma and published in Leipzig around 1910, this vibrant colour lithograph showcases a mesmerizing fusion of fantasy and mythology. Intricately detailed, we see a valiant soldier donning an ornate helmet adorned with serpents - a symbol often associated with Medusa from Greek mythology. The soldier's profile is strong and determined, reflecting his unwavering courage on the battlefield. The artist skillfully incorporates elements from astrology as well, as indicated by the presence of zodiac symbols surrounding our warrior hero. These celestial signs hint at the influence that Mars holds over matters related to conflict and aggression. A fiery backdrop engulfs the scene, emphasizing both danger and power. Flames dance passionately around our knightly figure while snakes slither through them effortlessly - representing chaos tamed under Mars' watchful eye. This extraordinary artwork captures not only Thoma's artistic prowess but also invites viewers into a world where ancient myths intertwine with human aspirations for bravery and triumph. Displayed proudly in private collections worldwide, this print serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with legends that have stood the test of time.
