EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a priceless piece of history, showcasing the iconic she-wolf with Romulus and Remus and Rhea Silvia. The panel, adorned with two exquisite bas-reliefs by Nicola Pisano, is a treasured artwork from the Fontana Maggiore of Perugia, now proudly displayed in the National Gallery of Umbria. Dating back to 1275-1277, this masterpiece takes us on a journey through time to the Gothic era of Europe's Middle Ages. Crafted by Giovanni Pisano and his father Nicola Pisano, these intricate low reliefs depict significant moments in ancient Roman history. The focal point is undoubtedly the nurturing she-wolf nursing Romulus and Remus, symbolizing their legendary origins as founders of Rome. This powerful image resonates deeply with viewers as it represents both physiological care for the body and psychological aspects tied to our primal instincts. Surrounded by delicate details carved into stone, we are transported back to an era where monarchy reigned supreme. These bas-reliefs offer glimpses into ancient populations' lives while also serving as historical artifacts that tell stories passed down through generations. Photographed in 1955 by Alinari Fratelli, this print beautifully captures every nuance of texture and form present in Giovanni Pisano's masterful work. It serves as a testament to human creativity throughout different periods in history – reminding us that art has always been an integral part of our cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image today at the National Gallery of Umbria in Perugia, let us appreciate its significance not only within artistic realms but also within humanity's collective memory.
