The intricate set design from Il Pomo D'Oro, created by Mathaus Küsel, showcases a scene filled with elephants and soldiers scattered throughout. As we gaze at this remarkable artwork, our eyes are drawn upwards towards Mars himself, looking down upon the chaos unfolding below. The etched details bring this historical moment to life as we witness the fusion of art and mythology. This German masterpiece captures not only the concept of war but also incorporates elements of religion and Roman mythology. It is evident that Küsel's work was influenced by his deep understanding of heritage art.
