EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic sculpture known as the "Capitoline Wolf with Romulus and Remus" created in 1552. Crafted by an unknown artist during the sixteenth century, this bronze masterpiece is a testament to both artistic skill and Roman mythology. The image captures the intricate details of the sculpture, highlighting its remarkable craftsmanship. The Capitoline Wolf stands tall, her powerful body exuding strength and protection. Nestled beneath her belly are twin figures - Romulus and Remus - legendary founders of Rome. These mythical brothers were said to have been raised by a she-wolf after being abandoned as infants. The photograph beautifully captures not only the physicality of this ancient artwork but also its historical significance. It serves as a reminder of Italy's rich cultural heritage and its deep connection to Roman history. Through this print, viewers can appreciate the artistry behind this statue while contemplating its symbolic meaning. The Capitoline Wolf represents nurturing motherhood, resilience, and ultimately, Rome's foundation story itself. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen in bronze – an enduring tribute to one of Italy's most cherished legends.
