EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the sculptural group representing the iconic she-wolf that nurtured Romulus and Remus, legendary founders of Rome. This remarkable work is attributed to the renowned artist Giovanni Pisano and was originally part of the facade of Siena Cathedral. Today, it finds its home in the Museo dell'Opera Metropolitana, where it is preserved for generations to admire. The sculpture itself is a true masterpiece of Gothic art from the Middle Ages, transporting viewers back in time to Europe's rich history during the first and second millenniums A. D. The photograph was taken in 1977, capturing every intricate detail with precision and clarity. In this image, we witness an exquisite portrayal of nature intertwining with human mythology. The she-wolf stands majestically as her maternal instincts are depicted through her nurturing posture towards two vulnerable infants - Romulus and Remus. These naked children symbolize both innocence and destiny as they would grow up to become significant figures in Roman history. The composition beautifully captures not only the physicality but also the emotional depth conveyed by each element within this historical artwork. From the muscular form of the wolf to every curve on their tiny bodies, Alinari's photography allows us to appreciate Pisano's craftsmanship even more profoundly. As we gaze upon this photograph print by Alinari Fratelli from Alinari archives, we are reminded of how art has transcended time and space throughout centuries. It serves as a testament to our fascination with ancient civilizations while honoring their contributions to shaping our world today.
