EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing mosaic pavement depicting the legendary tale of Romulus and Remus being nurtured by a wolf. Created by the talented artist Pinturicchio, this masterpiece is housed in the renowned Cathedrale Santa Maria Assunta in Tuscany, Italy. The image captures the essence of Roman mythology and Renaissance art, transporting viewers to ancient times. The twins, orphaned at birth and abandoned on the banks of the Tiber River, are tenderly fed by a she-wolf. This scene symbolizes not only their survival but also their destined role as founders of Rome. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this mythological narrative to life. Every brushstroke tells a story of childhood innocence intertwined with wild nature. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the rich history that shaped our world today. This mosaic serves as an enduring testament to Italian culture and heritage. It reflects both religious beliefs prevalent during its creation and pagan influences from antiquity. Its preservation through time allows us to connect with our past while appreciating its artistic brilliance. Jean Bernard's skillful capture immortalizes this remarkable piece for all to admire beyond geographical boundaries or commercial interests. It invites us into a realm where imagination meets reality—a place where art transcends time itself.
