Minerva Sending Away Mars from Peace and Prosperity is a 1588 oil by Jacopo Tintoretto, a Mannerism work, depicting Minerva, held at Doge's Palace.
This painting shows a scene with four figures. In the center, a woman in a blue dress and a red cloak pushes a man in armor away from her. To her right, a man in armor holds a spear and looks at the couple. On the left, a woman in a white cloth wraps her arms around the man's chest. The background is a blue sky with a city in the distance. The woman in blue seems to be sending the man in armor away. The atmosphere feels intense, with the woman's firm gesture and the man's resistant posture. Look up more works by the artist Jacopo Tintoretto.
