EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Mars, from The Seven Planets, 1533" takes us back to the 16th century when German artist Heinrich Aldegrever created this masterpiece. The image portrays a mythical figure - Mars, the Roman god of war and agriculture. In this engraving, we see Mars in profile view, his strong masculine features highlighted by his helmet adorned with intricate details. He is dressed in regal attire befitting a deity of great power and authority. A torch held firmly in one hand symbolizes both destruction and enlightenment. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully captures every line and curve of the horse that stands beside Mars. This majestic creature adds an element of strength and grace to the composition. Aldegrever's artistic prowess shines through as he expertly combines mythology with realism. His portrayal of Mars not only showcases his technical abilities but also reflects the cultural significance attached to religion during that time period. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and the enduring fascination humans have had with mythological figures throughout history. It invites us to delve into ancient tales while appreciating Aldegrever's talent for immortalizing these stories on paper.
