EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts the legendary tale of Romulus and Remus, the founders of ancient Rome, being nurtured by a she-wolf in the untamed wilderness. The German School's exquisite artwork beautifully captures this iconic moment in history. In this scene from Hellas und Rom, a renowned cultural history book by Jakob von Falke, we witness the abandoned twins on the riverbank of Tiber. The boys' vulnerability is juxtaposed against their surroundings - a rugged mountain river flowing through Latium, Italy. This evocative portrayal showcases both the harshness and beauty of nature. The image not only highlights their survival but also symbolizes their future greatness as they are suckled by a protective wolf. It represents an integral part of Roman mythology and culture that has endured for centuries. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to classical times when legends were born and civilizations flourished. We can almost feel the bond between these brothers strengthening amidst adversity. Through this artwork, we glimpse into their childhood and witness how destiny unfolds before them. It serves as a reminder of human resilience and determination to overcome challenges even in seemingly impossible circumstances. This engraving is more than just an artistic masterpiece; it encapsulates historical significance while celebrating timeless themes such as brotherhood, survival, and cultural heritage.
