Mars 1602 - 1608

"Mars", a Limoges enamel plaque created by Jean Limosin between 1602 and 1608, depicts the Roman god of war standing triumphantly in a landscape. The composition features vibrant, colorful enamel, with the figure of Mars standing out against a rich blue sky. The scene includes a variety of symbolic elements, such as weapons, armor, and a landscape, all of which contribute to the depiction of Mars's power and might. The detailed, fine craftsmanship of the enamelwork is characteristic of Limosin's style and reflects the high standards of the Limoges enamel workshops during this period.
