AN ITALIAN MARBLE FIGURE OF MARS
VENETIAN, 17TH CENTURY
The god of war modelled standing in contraposto wearing the cuirass and panelled skirt of a Roman centurion, inscribed to the base ‘MARTE’
45 ½ in. (115.5 cm.) high

Note du spécialiste

The model is very similar to, and probably derived from, Tiziano Aspetti’s (1565-1607) figure of Mars, of which a very fine example in bronze is in the Frick Collection, New York (J. Pope-Hennessy and A. Radcliffe, The Frick Collection, Volume III: Sculpture, New York, 1970, pp. 183-185).
