EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic moment in Roman mythology when Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome, are discovered by the shepherd Faustulus being suckled by a she-wolf. The she-wolf had saved the twins' lives after they were abandoned, and in this scene, the god Mars watches over them as a divine protector.
The aged and weathered appearance of this print adds to its historical charm, transporting us back to ancient Italy where this myth originated. The intricate details in the drawing bring to life the shepherdess caring for these miraculous infants, while the looming presence of Mars hints at their destined greatness.
As we gaze upon this work of art, we are reminded of the power of legends and myths that have shaped civilizations throughout history. The symbolism of the wolf as a nurturing figure alongside divine intervention serves as a timeless reminder of resilience and survival against all odds.
This black-and-white engraving is not just a depiction of an ancient tale but a window into a world where gods walked among mortals and heroes were born from humble beginnings. It is a testament to human imagination and storytelling that continues to captivate audiences centuries later.
