EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an ancient fresco from the Roman civilization, depicting a pivotal moment in mythology. The scene depicts Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome, being abandoned on the banks of a river. From a columbarium at Esquiline Hill in Rome, this full-length wall artwork offers a glimpse into the rich history of Italy's ancient civilization. The close-up view reveals intricate details despite some damage to the fresco over time. Both brothers are seen carrying robes as they stand by the river's edge, their hands clasped together in brotherly unity. This horizontal composition captures not only their physical resemblance but also their strong bond as siblings. As part of ancient Rome's fine art painting tradition, this piece holds great significance for its portrayal of one of Latium's most iconic legends. It serves as a reminder that even mighty civilizations have humble beginnings rooted in myth and folklore. With its five people depicted - Romulus, Remus, and three others whose identities remain unknown - this image invites viewers to ponder upon the historical context surrounding these figures. Whether displayed within educational settings or private collections, this print is sure to spark curiosity about Roman culture and its enduring legacy throughout centuries.
