EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "Mars Asleep" by renowned Dutch artist Hendrick Jansz Terbrugghen. Created in 1629, this baroque painting is a testament to Terbrugghen's exceptional talent and attention to detail. The image depicts Mars, the Roman god of war, peacefully asleep. Clad in magnificent armor, he lies on a bed of clouds surrounded by celestial beings. The fine brushstrokes and vibrant colors bring this mythological scene to life, evoking a sense of tranquility amidst the chaos typically associated with Mars. Terbrugghen masterfully combines allegory and literature in this artwork. By portraying Mars as asleep rather than engaged in battle, he invites viewers to contemplate the duality of war – its destructive power juxtaposed with moments of respite and peace. Displayed at the Centraal Museum in Utrecht, this oil-on-wood painting has become an iconic representation of Terbrugghen's artistic prowess. Its inclusion within their collection speaks volumes about its significance within Dutch art history. As you gaze upon this print, immerse yourself in the rich symbolism and intricate details that make it truly remarkable. Let your imagination wander through ancient mythology while appreciating Terbrugghen's skillful rendering of one of Rome's most revered deities - Mars Asleep will surely leave you captivated for hours on end.
