EDITORS COMMENTS
This detail from a 1543 printed page showcases the legendary tale of Romulus and Remus being suckled by the she-wolf Lupa. The scene is derived from Roman mythology, which recounts the story of the twin infants, who were abandoned at birth and left to perish on the banks of the Tiber River. However, they were miraculously discovered and nursed by the she-wolf Lupa, ensuring their survival and eventual founding of the city of Rome. The image is a marginal drawing, a common feature in books of the 1540s, which often contained intricate illustrations in the margins. This particular drawing, with its delicate lines and fine detail, is a testament to the skill of the engraver or woodcutter who created it. The ink and hand-written text surrounding the image is in Latin, further emphasizing its classical roots. The story of Romulus and Remus is a foundational myth of ancient Rome, and was recorded by the Roman historian Livy in his "Ab Urbe Condita" or "The History of Rome from its Founding." This image serves as a visual representation of the text, and adds depth and intrigue to the historical narrative. The image of the she-wolf nursing the twin infants is a powerful symbol of nurture, survival, and the founding of Rome. It is a testament to the enduring power of mythology, and the ability of stories to capture the imagination and inspire generations.
