EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Romulus and Remus suckling the she-wolf on a riverbank" transports us back to ancient Rome in the 17th century. Created by an anonymous artist, this engraving beautifully depicts the legendary tale of Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome. In this scene, we witness two adorable babies nestled against a serene riverside as they suckle from a nurturing she-wolf. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, capturing not only the tender moment between mother wolf and infants but also conveying a sense of historical significance. The image serves as a powerful representation of family life and infancy in Roman mythology. It symbolizes strength, resilience, and the origins of one of history's greatest empires. The lettering accompanying the artwork adds an additional layer of authenticity to its historical context. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's exhibition on ancient Roman culture, this antique piece invites viewers to delve into centuries-old tales that have shaped our understanding of civilization. Its presence within an art gallery allows visitors to appreciate both its artistic merit and cultural significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable print by Anon (possibly Justus van Egmont or Degmont Juste), we are reminded that art has always been intertwined with storytelling throughout human history. This particular artwork continues to captivate audiences with its timeless depiction of love, nurturement, and mythological heritage.
