"Mars and Venus" is a renowned engraving by the Dutch artist Hendrick Goltzius, created in 1585 during the Northern Renaissance. This work is part of a series of engravings that depict various mythological scenes and was produced during Goltzius's mature period, when he was highly influenced by Classical antiquity and Italian art. The engraving showcases the Roman deities Mars, the god of war, and Venus, the goddess of love, in an allegorical representation that explores themes of love, war, and the duality of human passion.

The composition of "Mars and Venus" is notable for its intricate detail and the dynamic interplay between the figures, which reflects Goltzius's mastery of the engraving medium. Venus is typically depicted as attempting to restrain Mars, symbolizing the taming of war through love. The work is imbued with symbolic elements and iconography that were common in the art of the period, such as the presence of Cupid and various attributes associated with the deities.

Goltzius's technique in "Mars and Venus" demonstrates his exceptional skill in creating depth and texture through the use of fine lines and hatching, a hallmark of his engravings. His ability to convey the softness of flesh and the intricacies of fabric showcases his talent and the influence of his study of Italian art, particularly the work of artists like Raphael and Giulio Romano.

"Mars and Venus" is held in high esteem by art historians and is considered an important work within Goltzius's oeuvre. It exemplifies the Northern Renaissance's engagement with Classical themes and the humanist interest in mythological narratives. The engraving can be found in various art collections and museums around the world, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
