About the sculpture

This bronze group depicts Mars and Cupid and is made in Venice in the mid 16th century.

Mars is the god of war, one of the twelve Olympians. He was very brutal and aggressive and thus hated by everyone even his parents, Jupiter and Juno. The only exception was Venus, who fell in love with him. For the Romans he was the father of their founders Romulus and Remus. Representations of Mars in the 16th century often are hard to identify for Mars not always appears helmeted, which would have been his depiction in the ancient Roman way.
