Plate captions

The evolution of the image of Mars as an exemplum of representation of a cultural trajectory: from the anthropomorphical representation of the sun astral god, to the imperfect image of the circular movements of the planet which is still part of a system of magical and harmonious relationships between man and the cosmos (Kepler), to current representations of the conquest (intellectual and material) of the heavens.
