Mars is a 1551 ink by Etienne Delaune, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The image depicts a black-and-white engraving of a man in armor, standing in the center of a large cross. The man is holding a shield and sword, and is surrounded by various animals and plants. The cross is adorned with intricate designs and patterns. The engraving is highly detailed, with fine lines and textures that give it a sense of depth and dimensionality. The use of black and white creates a striking contrast that draws the viewer's eye to the central figure. The engraving is a fine example of Renaissance art, with its use of classical motifs and attention to detail. For more information on this style, explore the Renaissance movement.
