Seltene allegorische Figur "Der Krieg"
Auf unregelmäßigem Felssockel erhöht sitzender, behelmter Gott Mars als Krieger in römischem, hellbraunem Harnisch, in der rechten Hand das aufgestellte Schwert haltend. Mit der Linken in die Ferne zeigend. Zu seiner Rechten liegender Rammbock, Liktorenbündel und ovaler Schild als Attribute des Krieges bzw. Symbol der Macht. Polychrome Malerei mit Goldstaffage. Entw. Michel Victor Acier. Modell-Nr. C 16. Minim. rest.; Schwertermarke. H. 26,5 cm.
Ursprünglich als zweiteilige Figurengruppe mit emporragendem Obelisken und einem weiteren, dem Betrachter zugewandten Soldaten mit Speer konzipiert. Derartige allegorische, kriegsthematische Figuren bzw. Figurengruppen sind zumeist Ausdruck des Repräsentationsbedürfnisses der herrschenden Schicht und ihres Hegemoniestrebens. Gefertigt wurden sie oft im Auftrag oder als Dankesgeschenke für besondere politische Verdienste an hochgestellte Persönlichkeiten der Regierung. Thematisch ähnlich konzipierte Gruppen von Michel Victor Acier sind Teil der sog. "Großen Russischen Bestellung" für Katharina die Große, die sie für den Kaiserlichen Palast in Oranienburg (heute Lomonossow) bei St. Petersburg in Auftrag gab.
Vgl. Kat. Meissen für die Zaren, Nr. 1745ff.
