EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts the legendary founding figures of Rome, Romulus and his brother Remus, as portrayed in the 1606 publication "Illustrium Imagines." The image, housed in the National Library of Spain in Madrid, offers a glimpse into the rich historical narrative of ancient Rome's mythological origins. Romulus and Remus, the twin brothers, are shown standing side by side, with Romulus holding a shield and spear, symbolizing his role as the founder and first ruler of Rome. His brother Remus, with a club in hand, represents the opposing forces that Romulus overcame to establish the city. The dynamic interplay between the two brothers underscores the epic tale of brotherly conflict and the birth of a great civilization. The vertical composition of the engraving adds to its dramatic effect, drawing the viewer's eye to the intricate details of the brothers' clothing, hairstyles, and facial expressions. The use of color in the print further enhances the visual appeal, adding depth and dimension to the image. As an interior view of the National Library of Spain, the engraving not only showcases the historical significance of the depicted subject matter but also highlights the institution's impressive collection of rare and valuable prints. This image serves as a testament to the enduring allure of Rome's mythological past and the importance of preserving historical records for future generations.
