Lost wax bronze casting.

This beautiful and majestic hero represents God Mars.
It is a faithful replica of the famous Marte by Jean de Boulogne (1529-1608).
The body of MArte is one of the most dynamic human bodies ever to be done by Giambologna and in the posture and attitude may recall two bigger statues made by the same artist, the Neptune in Bologna and the Ocean inside the Boboli Garden in Florence.
The powerful protagonist is looking straight in the enemy's eyes. The head fierce and uproght, turned slightly to the left, characterized by a bushy beard and curly hair, as well as his raging gaze, reveal his determination and his thirst for victory.
