EDITORS COMMENTS
Romulus and Remus Sheltered by Faustulus," a captivating masterpiece by the renowned Baroque artist Pietro da Cortona, dates back to approximately 1643 and is currently housed in the prestigious Musee du Louvre in Paris. This exquisite oil on canvas painting brings to life the ancient Roman legend of the founding of Rome. At the heart of the composition, the twin brothers Romulus and Remus are depicted as young boys, lying peacefully on a makeshift bed made of leaves and reeds. They are protected and cared for by Faustulus, a shepherd, and his wife, a shepherdess. The scene is set along the banks of the River Tiber, with the lush greenery of the Italian countryside in the background. The allegorical significance of the painting lies in the mythological tale of Romulus and Remus. According to Roman mythology, the twin brothers were abandoned at birth and left to die by the riverbank. They were discovered and saved by Faustulus and his wife, who raised them as their own. When they grew up, Romulus and Remus went on to found the city of Rome, symbolizing the birth and growth of the Roman civilization.

The painting is a testament to the artist's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of the Baroque period, with its emphasis on grandeur, drama, and emotion. The painting's rich colors and intricate details transport the viewer back in time, inviting them to witness the ancient Roman legend come to life. The timeless beauty of "Romulus and Remus Sheltered by Faustulus" continues to captivate and inspire art lovers and history enthusiasts alike, making it a must-see masterpiece in the vast collection of the Musee du Louvre.
