It unites ancient ideals with artistic innovation. This symbol of sovereignty is masterfully realized in the powerful appearance of the statuette. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Symbolically, Giambologna's Mars stands between war and peace, destruction and renewal. Why the artist depicted the god of war not in full armor, but rather nude, is one of the exciting questions the book explores. This volume also includes works by Antonio Susini, Giovanni Francesco Susini, Pietro Tacca, and Adrian de Fries. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephan Koja\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3777446467\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783777446462\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hirmer Verlag GmbH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/19\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.18h x 8.58w x 1.01d","brand":"Stephan Koja","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48440583094527,"sku":"9783777446462","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_96af4bed-54e5-420f-a0af-8182047a1518.jpg?v=1777183409","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/body-of-power-stephan-koja-9783777446462","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
