EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Romulus, one of the legendary twin founders of Rome. Created by Michael Burghers in the late 17th century, this print showcases the mythical figure in all his glory. With a strong and commanding presence, Romulus stands tall wearing a magnificent helmet that symbolizes his leadership and power. The artist beautifully captures the essence of Roman mythology as he portrays Romulus alongside a she-wolf, an iconic symbol associated with his upbringing. According to ancient legend, Romulus and his twin brother Remus were abandoned as infants but were nurtured and protected by a she-wolf until they were discovered and raised by a shepherd. In this engraving, we witness the determination etched on Romulus' face as he holds onto a staff representing authority. The attention to detail is remarkable; every line carefully engraved to bring out the strength and character of this legendary figure. Burghers' work was inspired by Plutarch's Lives, which chronicled influential figures from classical antiquity. This particular illustration was featured in Jacob Tonson's publication in 1703. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to ancient Rome - a time when myths intertwined with reality. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an homage to the founding story of one of history's greatest civilizations – Rome.
