This etching, “Mars en Cupido,” by Hendrik van der (II) Borcht depicts the Roman god of war, Mars, and Cupid, the god of love. Mars stands with his hand outstretched toward Cupid, who holds a bow and arrow. This artwork, created in 1638, is housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. It showcases the Baroque style's emphasis on dramatic poses and detailed anatomical rendering of the human figure.
