EDITORS COMMENTS
This 15th-century bronze print, titled "Romulus and Remus Suckled by a She-wolf" transports us back to ancient mythology and the legendary tale of Rome's foundation. Crafted by the Florentine School, this exquisite artwork measures 6x10.3 cm and is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. The image depicts two infant brothers, Romulus and Remus, being nurtured by a she-wolf amidst a backdrop of black lacquer over medium brown bronze. This powerful representation symbolizes not only the bond between siblings but also the primal instinct of motherhood. Rooted in Etruscan folklore, this mythological scene showcases the birth of Rome itself. Legend has it that these abandoned twins were discovered by a compassionate wolf who became their surrogate mother until they were found and raised by humans. The intricate casting technique employed in creating this masterpiece adds depth and realism to every detail – from the delicate features of the infants to the fierce yet protective gaze of their lupine caregiver. The artist masterfully captures both vulnerability and strength within this small but impactful sculpture. As we admire this remarkable piece from Italian history, let us reflect on its enduring significance as a testament to resilience, brotherhood, and our eternal connection with nature's nurturing spirit.
