The Weapons of Mars — Lovis Corinth

Lovis Corinth’s The Weapons of Mars, dated 1910, transforms martial imagery associated with the Roman god of war into a vigorous, psychologically charged composition. Corinth’s energetic brushwork, rich colour, and expressive handling reflect his distinctive position between German Impressionism and early Expressionism, lending the subject a sense of movement and intensity. Rather than presenting classical mythology with academic restraint, the work approaches the weapons of Mars through a boldly modern visual language. This museum-inspired reproduction honours the painting’s mythological symbolism, painterly vitality, and striking early twentieth-century character. Printed as a premium matte fine-art print on 200 gsm paper, it brings a powerful image of Roman mythology and modern European art into the home.

Our museum-inspired reproductions are printed on premium 200 gsm matte paper, with edge-to-edge artwork and supplied unframed.

To prepare selected historical artworks for fine-art printing, we digitally enhance images where necessary, including adjustments to brightness, contrast and colour balance. These refinements are intended to improve print reproduction while respecting the character of the original artwork. Colours and tonal values may therefore differ from the original painting.
