EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "The she-wolf of Rome" transports us back to ancient times, depicting a legendary tale that has fascinated generations. The image showcases the iconic scene of a she-wolf discovering and nurturing two abandoned infants in the wilderness of Rome. In this educational card from the late 19th or early 20th century, we witness the survival instincts of both animals and humans. The wolf's maternal instinct shines through as she selflessly feeds and cares for these helpless babies, who would later become known as Romulus and Remus – the founders of Rome. The artist skillfully captures the wild beauty of nature, with lush greenery surrounding the shepherd Faustulus' humble abode where this extraordinary event unfolds. The contrasting innocence between newborns and untamed wildlife creates a powerful visual narrative that speaks to our primal connection with nature. As we delve into history through this artwork, it is fascinating to imagine how these infants grew up under such unique circumstances. This print not only celebrates their miraculous discovery but also serves as a reminder of our own origins and resilience in challenging environments. "The she-wolf of Rome" by Bridgeman Images invites us to reflect on themes such as survival, discovery, and the intertwined relationship between humans and animals throughout time. It stands as an enduring testament to humanity's ability to adapt and thrive even in seemingly impossible situations.
