EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic scene of Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome, in a beautifully detailed etching state. Created in 1652 by an unknown artist, this sheet measures approximately 4 5/16 inches by 5 3/4 inches (109 x 146 cm) and showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of Italian art. In this image, we see Remus suckling milk from a wolf while standing on his right hind leg on top of a rock. The composition is part of a series consisting of six plates that were etched after Giulio Romano's drawings. These prints were originally collected by Nicolas Lanier and feature designs inspired by stucco medallions found at Palazzo Te in Mantua. The attention to detail is evident as every line and contour are expertly etched onto the surface, bringing life to this ancient mythological tale. The delicate balance between light and shadow adds depth to the characters' expressions and emphasizes their connection with nature. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical artifact, showcasing the enduring legacy of Roman mythology. It invites viewers to delve into the rich tapestry of ancient legends while appreciating the skillful execution behind each stroke. Whether displayed in homes or galleries, this artwork undoubtedly sparks curiosity and admiration for centuries-old tales that continue to captivate our imagination today.
