EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the legendary tale of Romulus and Remus, the twin brothers who are believed to have founded the ancient city of Rome. According to Roman mythology, Romulus and Remus were abandoned at birth and left to die on the banks of the Tiber River. However, they were discovered and saved by a she-wolf, who nursed them with her own milk and raised them as her cubs. The image dates back to circa 780 BC, making it an invaluable historical artifact that provides a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of ancient Rome. The brothers are depicted as young infants, lying peacefully in the protective embrace of the wolf. The serene expression on their faces and the gentle gaze of the wolf convey a sense of nurturing and care that is both touching and awe-inspiring. The events surrounding the birth and upbringing of Romulus and Remus have been the subject of numerous works of art and literature throughout history. This particular print, with its intricate details and beautiful composition, is a testament to the enduring appeal of this ancient myth. It serves as a reminder of the power of nature and the strength of the human spirit, even in the most challenging of circumstances. The print also underscores the importance of mythology in shaping the identity and values of ancient civilizations, including Rome. By retelling the stories of their gods and heroes, the Romans were able to create a shared sense of history and purpose that helped to unite and inspire their people. Today, the myth of Romulus and Remus continues to captivate and intrigue us, offering a window into the rich and complex history of one of the world's greatest civilizations.
