Mars désarmé par Vénus, Jacques-Louis David, 1824

This is a reproduction of “Mars Disarmed by Venus” of 1825 by Jacques-Louis David.  This masterpiece was one of the last produced by the French master of Neoclassicism after forty-three years of creating masterpieces.  He began this work in Brussels at the age of seventy-three.  The monumental painting depicts the removal of the armor of Mars by the three Graces and Cupid.  The painting was exhibited in Paris just before David’s death and was hailed as the bridge between Classicism and Romanticism.  The original painting is 265 cm wide and 308 cm high and is in the Musées royaux des Beaux-Arts de Belgique in Brussels.
