For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Minerva Sending Away Mars from Peace and Prosperity Description An account of the resource Jacopo Tintoretto was an Italian painter born in Venice whose art was characterized by uniqueness in composition and handling. His painting “Minerva Sending Away Mars from Peace and Prosperity” is part of a group of four extraordinary square paintings that include “Bacchus, Venus, and Adriane,” “Vulcan’s Forge,” and “Mercury and the Graces.” These four paintings were made to celebrate the successful government of Doge Girolamo Priuli. The paintings include mythological and allegorical figures that are meant to emphasize ideas of prosperity and power during Doge Girolamo Priuli’s reign. The four paintings were originally on the walls of the Atrio Quadrato in the Palazzo Ducale, but they are now arranged symmetrically in the Sala dell'Anticollegio in the Palazzo Ducale. In “Minerva Sending Away Mars from Peace and Prosperity,” Tintoretto uses contrasting colors and mythological figures to depict his story. Minerva is seen protecting Peace (wearing an olive wreath crown) and Prosperity (who is partially appearing in the scene to fill her bowl with fruit) from Mars (God of War). As one can see, Tintoretto makes the left side of the painting that includes Minerva, Peace, and Prosperity bright by using light colors in skin, clothes, and accessories. Meanwhile, Tintoretto depicts the right side of the painting that includes Mars as dark, which can be seen through the black armor and lack of bright paint colors. The painting is showing how Minerva is shielding Venice from war in order to keep peace and prosperity in Venice. The lightness on the left side of the painting displays the serene nature of Venice and its success. Peace and Prosperity appear to be glowing in the picture, and this glow can be associated with the thriving nature of Venice under Doge Girolamo Priuli.
