Description:

The Ludovisi Ares is an Antonine Roman marble sculpture of Ares/Mars, a fine 2nd-century copy of a late 4th-century BCE Greek original, associated with Scopas or Lysippus. Ares/Mars is portrayed as young and beardless and seated on a trophy of arms, while an Eros plays about his feet. Rediscovered in 1622, the sculpture was apparently originally part of the temple of Mars (founded in 132 BCE in the southern part of the Campus Martius). It was acquired by Cardinal Ludovico Ludovisi and restored by Bernini. He refinished its surfaces and discreetly provided a right foot; he was probably largely responsible for the Eros/cupid. It was a sensational find and one of the featured antiquities to see on the "grand tour" of the 17th and 18th centuries. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Main_Page)
