Pictures of Mars, the Roman god of War

I have made a separate page for the pictures of Mars, Roman god of War, as this is the name he has in most of the classical works of art.

In this painting by Velazquez, he looks to me like a Spanish soldier. You can still see the muscles, but the skin is showing a man who starts to get old.

Mars was jealous of Adonis, Aphrodite's new lover, so he made a boar attack him.

Given Mars' hobby (fighting for the sake of fighting), it's no wonder that he and the goddess of wisdom, Minerva, didn't get along well.

Most of the paintings deal not with the warrior qualities of Mars, but with the gossip connected with him, that is, his affair with Venus (Aphrodite).
