EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mars on a tank - based on a 15th century illumination" takes us back in time to the realm of war, mythology, and religion. The image is inspired by a 15th-century French School illumination, showcasing the enduring fascination with ancient legends. In this artwork, we witness Mars, the Roman god of war and counterpart to the Greek Ares, riding atop a formidable tank-like vehicle. The juxtaposition of an ancient mythological character with modern machinery creates an intriguing blend of past and present. It symbolizes the evolution of warfare throughout history while reminding us that certain themes remain timeless. The artist's choice to depict Mars on this transport vehicle highlights his power and dominance as he navigates through battlefields. The coupling between mythological lore and technological advancement sparks contemplation about our own progress as a society. Leonard de Selva's skillful use of chromolithography brings out vibrant colors that enhance both the divine aura surrounding Mars and the mechanical intricacies of the tank itself. This fusion invites viewers into a world where paganism meets contemporary artistry. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing piece from Leonard de Selva's private collection, we are reminded not only of humanity's fascination with gods but also how art can bridge gaps between different eras and cultures.
