EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the ancient Roman artwork of "Romulus and Remus being nursed by the she-wolf". The high relief sculpture, dating back to the 4th century A. D. , was prominently displayed in Rome at the Mostra Augustea exhibition held between 1937-1938. Currently housed in the Museum at Avenches, this remarkable piece of Roman art continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and historical significance. The image showcases a moment from Roman mythology, depicting Romulus and Remus, legendary founders of Rome, as infants being nurtured by a she-wolf. The artist's skillful craftsmanship is evident in every line and contour of this stunning relief. The delicate features of the twins are beautifully rendered, while the powerful presence of the protective wolf exudes strength and maternal care. As we gaze upon this photograph taken in 1938 during its display at Mostra Augustea, we are transported back in time to witness an important chapter in European ancient civilization. This artwork not only symbolizes Rome's mythical origins but also represents their reverence for nature and animals. The composition evokes a sense of awe as we contemplate how such an exquisite work survived through centuries to reach us today. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with storytelling through art. Alinari Fratelli masterfully captured this iconic piece using their photographic expertise. Their attention to detail brings out every nuance present on this historic artifact – from each strand of fur on the she-wolf's body to every expression etched onto Romulus' face. In conclusion, Alinari Fratelli has immortalized this extraordinary high relief sculpture through their lens, allowing us all to appreciate its beauty even if we cannot personally visit it within the Museum at Avenches today.
