Mars is only half on the bed with Venus above him as he meets her lips in the urgency of their desire.\n\nA pair of doves, an attribute of Venus, are beside winged Cupid, who struggles to untie the laces of Mars‘ footwear. Venus is married to Vulcan. The voluminous red bed drapes are looped around the bedposts to reveal this scene of adultery like a stage set. The earthiness of the deities’ forbidden passion is echoed and expressed in the painting’s sultry colour palette. The haste of the brushwork suggests that this picture was never intended to be displayed where it would be closely inspected.\n\nWhen Mars and Venus was presented to the National Gallery in 1838 it was considered unsuitable for public exhibition, and so it hung for many years in the Director’s office.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/palma-giovane-mars-and-venus\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - Mars and Venus\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Palma Giovane","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":44295155056753,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (52 1\/4\" x 66 1\/4\")","offer_id":44295155089521,"sku":null,"price":5019.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (15 7\/8\" x 20 1\/8\")","offer_id":44295155122289,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (19 1\/2\" x 24 3\/4\")","offer_id":44295155155057,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (23 7\/8\" x 30 1\/4\")","offer_id":44295155187825,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (30 3\/4\" x 39\")","offer_id":44295155220593,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (36 7\/8\" x 46 3\/4\")","offer_id":44295155253361,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (43 1\/2\" x 55 1\/8\")","offer_id":44295155286129,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (52 1\/4\" x 66 1\/4\")","offer_id":44295155318897,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/3934\/0401\/files\/MarsandVenus.jpg?v=1787542992","url":"https:\/\/mastermuseumreplicas.com\/products\/mars-and-venus-ngal1328","provider":"Master Museum Replicas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
