Description
You can find the Ares Ludovisi at the Altemps Museum in Rome. This second century A.D. statue of a very young beardless man, with a sword resting upon his left leg and a shield resting against his right, was thought to be a copy of a Greek original, attributed to Skopas or Lysippos.
It was determined that the statue, uncovered in 1622, was Ares. Bernini added a small Cupid, the son of Ares and Aphrodite, just to make the point. Because Ares is the god of war, he has a sword resting on his left thigh with his left foot resting upon his helmet. Another indicator that this may be a god is the bare feet. Gods were usually depicted with bare feet.
