Form the first time humans noticed Mars, its appearance has been noted and studied and even mythologized. The images here, listed individually or in groups, represent the way humans have envisioned Mars through art, using knowledge or imagination or, often, a bit of both. And remember, while many illustrations of Mars were printed in black & white, the great majority were originally done in color. All published versions of an illustration will be cited, if possible.

Images are organized by artist and title.
