Painting Information
In one letter, the artist elaborates on the content and
interpretation of this painting:
"The central figure is Mars, who has left the open temple of Janus... and strides with shield and bloodied sword, threatening the nations with great disaster. He pays little heed to his mistress Venus, who, accompanied by cupids and deities of love, tries with caresses and embraces to hold him back. In the other half of the picture, the fury Alecto, holding a torch in her hand, pulls Mars towards her. There we see the monsters symbolizing disease and famine, the inseparable companions of war. A woman with a broken lute lies on the ground with her back to the viewer, representing harmony incompatible with discord, as does a mother with a child in her hand, testifying that fertility, recreation and parental love fall victim to the war that destroys and annihilates everything. An architect is also seen, knocked on his back with his tools in hand, to show that what is built in peace for the benefit and decoration of cities crumbles and perishes under the onslaught of arms. I think, if I remember rightly, that under Mars's feet you will also see a book, and a drawing on paper, a hint that Mars is trampling down science and all other beauty with his feet... But the grief-stricken woman, dressed in black and with her veil torn, robbed of all her jewels and jewels, is the wicked Europe, which for so many years has endured the robbery, dishonour, and misery which everyone feels so deeply...." Even more passionately than in this description, the artist has condemned in his painting - by means of the usual baroque allegory - the war and its devastating consequences at a time when the fury of the Thirty Years' War was shaking Europe. In his diplomatic service, which he carried out for many years with devoted zeal, Rubens made efforts to restore peace and said himself that in this field his highest aim was to work for peace.
