EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Pieter Paul Rubens' masterpiece, "Finding of Romulus and Remus" from 1612. The painting, found in the esteemed collection of Musei Capitolini in Rome, transports viewers to ancient times with its rich depiction of Roman mythology. In this baroque artwork, Rubens skillfully captures a pivotal moment in the legend of Romulus and Remus, the twin sons who would go on to become the founders of Rome. Set along the banks of the Tiber River, we witness a shepherdess discovering these abandoned infants being nurtured by a female wolf. Rubens' mastery is evident through his use of vibrant colors and intricate details that bring this mythological tale to life. The composition exudes both power and tenderness as it explores themes such as motherhood, destiny, and divine intervention. As we gaze upon this oil on canvas creation, we are transported back in time to witness an allegory steeped in history and literature. Through Rubens' brushstrokes, we can almost hear the whispers of ancient Rome echoing across centuries. This fine art image not only serves as a visual feast but also invites us to delve into our collective pasts. It reminds us that legends like those surrounding Romulus and Remus continue to shape our understanding of culture and civilization today.
