Notes | The Roman God of Wisdom, Minerva is depicted defending the figures of Peace and Plenty from Mars, the God of War. Peace and Plenty sit side by side in conversation, seemingly ignoring that battle between Minerva and Mars. Minerva's shield decorated with the head of the Medusa leans against a rock. To the right of the picture another figure looks over the domineering landscape with it's two watermills. | | Acquired, 1978. |
