Lot Essay

The present lot resembles the ancient Roman sculpture of Mars and Venus from the Baths of Diocletian (Terme di Diocleziano) in Rome. The basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri was built on the remains of the baths in the 16th century and the artwork moved to the Museo Nazionale de Romano.
