Reproduction of a sculpture inspired by the Ares Borghese located in the Louvre Museum.

The Ares Borghese is a Roman marble statue from the imperial era (1st or 2nd century AD). The Louvre Museum piece is a 2.11-meter-tall statue identifiable as Ares by the helmet and ankle ring, given to him by his lover Aphrodite. This statue possibly retains some characteristics of the original bronze work, now lost, from the 5th century BC.

The god Ares (Mars in Roman culture) is the god of war, courage, and personal overcoming. Ares had a chariot pulled by four immortal stallions with golden bridles that breathed fire. Among other gods, Ares was recognized for his bronze armor and the spear he wielded in battle. His favorite animal was the dog. In classical Greek art, his usual attributes were a crested helmet and a spear with which he easily defeated his enemies.

Reproductions of classical artworks, such as this sculpture of Ares, bring the cultural and aesthetic richness of classical art to our homes. When we incorporate these sculptures into outdoor decor, we infuse our gardens and terraces with an air of nobility and serenity, transforming our favorite outdoor corners into unique spaces for reflection or enjoying a good read. Stone, cast bronze, or molded marble with resin used to manufacture these replicas are materials that withstand the weather well, ensuring the durability and resistance of the pieces when exposed to outdoor spaces.

Decorating with reproductions of large classical sculptures can transform outdoor spaces into scenes of timeless beauty and serene contemplation where one can relax, reflect, and meditate.
