Mars onder een baldakijn 1628

This small, intricate woodcut print, titled "Mars onder een baldakijn" (Mars under a canopy), was created in 1628 by an anonymous artist. The print showcases a figure of Mars, the Roman god of war, standing in the center of a complex and ornate design. The imagery is characteristic of woodcut prints of the period, featuring detailed floral patterns, fantastical birds, and a delicate canopy. The overall effect is one of elegance and grandeur, even within the small dimensions of the print. This piece can be found in the Rijksmuseum, providing a glimpse into the artistry and craftsmanship of the 17th century.
