"Mars, God of War" is a painting by the Spanish artist Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, created circa 1640. This work is one of Velázquez's mythological paintings that reflect the influence of classical antiquity on the art of the Spanish Golden Age. The painting depicts Mars, the Roman god of war, in a moment of repose, a theme that diverges from the traditional portrayal of Mars as a dynamic and aggressive figure. Instead, Velázquez presents the deity as a more humanized and contemplative character, which may be interpreted as a commentary on the futility or aftermath of war.

The painting is executed in oil on canvas and measures approximately 179 cm by 95 cm. It is currently housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain, where it is part of the museum's extensive collection of European art. "Mars, God of War" is notable for its masterful use of chiaroscuro and the psychological depth Velázquez imparts to the god. The artist's skillful handling of the brushwork and the subtle gradation of tones contribute to the lifelike quality of the figure and the drapery of the bedsheet and Mars' attire.

Velázquez's "Mars, God of War" is considered an important work in the artist's oeuvre, reflecting his ability to convey complex emotions and to reinterpret classical subjects with a contemporary sensibility. The painting has been the subject of scholarly analysis and interpretation, and it continues to be admired for its technical brilliance and its enigmatic portrayal of one of the most powerful gods of Roman mythology.
