EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Bartolomeo Pinelli from the end of the 18th century depicts a pivotal moment in Roman mythology - King Faustulus Shepherd discovering Romulus and Remus on the banks of the Tiber River. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this ancient tale to life, showcasing the legendary founding of Rome.
The scene captures King Faustulus' astonishment as he stumbles upon the abandoned twins, who would go on to become central figures in Roman history. Romulus and Remus, suckling from a she-wolf nearby, symbolize strength, resilience, and destiny. The composition exudes a sense of mystery and wonder, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in this mythical narrative.
As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to antiquity - a time of gods and heroes, where legends were born and empires rose. The rich symbolism woven into every detail speaks to the enduring power of storytelling and mythmaking throughout human history.
Through Pinelli's skilled handiwork, we witness not just an artistic rendering but a window into the collective imagination of ancient Rome. This engraving serves as a reminder of our connection to the past and the timeless themes that continue to resonate with us today.
