EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable sculpture of Tiberinus, the Roman god of the River Tiber, dating back to the 1st century AD. Extracted from a larger artwork that adorned an Isis and Sarapis temple, this detailed depiction portrays Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome in accordance with Roman mythology. The focal point is undeniably the she-wolf who nurtured these abandoned infants after they were left to fend for themselves in the wilderness. Displayed within the prestigious Louvre Museum in Paris, this marble statue captures a moment frozen in time - a testament to ancient beliefs and cultural heritage. The craftsmanship exhibited here is truly exceptional; every intricacy meticulously carved into stone breathes life into this mythological scene. The image evokes emotions of awe and wonder as we witness Tiberinus Silvius standing tall as their protector while Romulus and Remus find solace under his watchful gaze. It symbolizes not only familial love but also highlights nature's role in shaping destiny. This artifact serves as a vivid reminder of Rome's rich history and its deep-rooted connection with mythology. Through art media like this print collector has preserved, we can delve into centuries past where legends intertwine with reality, offering us glimpses into ancient civilizations that have shaped our world today.
