An engraving by Agostino Carracci, 'Mars Driven Away From Peace and Abundance by Minerva' depicts Minerva driving away Mars, with Peace and Abundance represented by female figures. The scene is rendered with precise lines and careful shading, typical of Carracci's engraving technique.
This engraving by Agostino Carracci (1557-1602) depicts a scene of Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare, driving Mars, the god of war, away from Peace and Abundance. Carracci was an Italian painter, printmaker, and draughtsman. Along with his brother Annibale Carracci and cousin Ludovico Carracci, he was one of the founders of the Accademia degli Incamminati in Bologna. This academy was influential in the development of Baroque art. Carracci's work is characterised by its classical style and attention to detail. The composition shows Minerva, in armour, forcefully pushing Mars away. Peace and Abundance are represented by female figures, one holding a cornucopia overflowing with fruit, symbolising prosperity. The scene is rendered with precise lines and careful shading, typical of Carracci's engraving technique. The figures are muscular and posed dramatically, reflecting the influence of classical sculpture. The print is a fine example of late Mannerist art, blending classical ideals with a dynamic and expressive style.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
