Venus (Greek name, Aphrodite) is the Roman Goddess of Love and Beauty. Mars (Greek name Ares) is the Roman God of War. Mars is a God of giant stature whose cruel and war-like nature is despised by all his peers, and yet he succumbs to the charms of Venus. Their love affair is legendary in classical mythology. This work of Antonio Canova's is from the last few years of his life. It illustrates his artistry of expressiveness under the restraint of classic lines. He was the foremost exponent of the Neo-Classicism.

Venus and Mars Statue is made from cold cast bronze with faint color details and measures 7"L x 3.5"D x 15"H.
