EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Plate 28: Mars on horseback at center, and Romulus and Remus with the wolf at lower left" takes us back to ancient Rome in the 17th century. Created by Jacob Neeffs, Johannes Meursius, and Willem van der Beke, this engraved artwork is a true testament to their artistic prowess. At the heart of the composition stands Mars, the Roman god of war, mounted on a majestic horse. With his commanding presence and powerful aura, he symbolizes strength and valor. To his left lies an enchanting scene depicting Romulus and Remus alongside their nurturing she-wolf mother. This portrayal pays homage to one of Rome's founding myths - two brothers who were raised by a wolf before establishing the great city itself. The intricate details captured in this print transport us to Flanders during its heyday as an art center. The skilled craftsmanship evident in every stroke showcases both Flemish talent and historical significance. Displayed within a prestigious exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art or any other renowned gallery worldwide, this artwork serves as a window into ancient Roman culture and mythology. It invites viewers to delve into history while contemplating themes such as religion, heritage art, deity worship, and even equestrian symbolism. As we admire this remarkable piece from Jacob Neeffs' collection alongside Johannes Meursius' expertise in mythological depictions combined with Willem van der Beke's engraving mastery; we are reminded that art has no boundaries when it comes to capturing our imagination across time periods.
