Mars désarmé par Vénus [1824] from Jacques-Louis David, 1748-1825, French painter.
A traditional piece of work hung in a cutting edge presentation - Large 100 x 120 cms
Artwork from Musées royaux des Beaux-Arts de Belgique. Published in Belgique. With the illness of 1820, David began to sense the end of his life and was determined to paint one last grand statement. In 1821 he began work on Mars Disarmed by Venus and the Three Graces. Completed in 1824, the work is bold, surprising and puzzling, and many people then and now have wondered exactly what he meant by this strange scene played out against an ornate marble pavilion in the sky. Mars, the god of war, is succumbing to the charms of Venus, but the outcome is still in doubt.
