A bronze figure of Mars, after a model by Giambologna (1529-1608), Italian, late 18th century This depiction of Mars, also known as the Gladiator, has been one of Giambologna's most popular models since its creation. The prototype is thought to date from the early 1570's. Indeed, one of the earliest reproductions of the model after Giambologna is the Mars in the Bargello, attributed to Pietro Da Barga (1574-1588). The present bronze follows in the Renaissance tradition of bronze replicas of highly esteemed statuettes.
