EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of ancient Roman art, showcasing a bronze trunk of a she-wolf and a she-lion. Preserved within the walls of the Archaeological Museum of Fiesole in the environs of Florence, this remarkable sculpture is an emblematic representation of Europe's rich ancient civilization. Dating back to the 1st century, this artwork stands as a testament to the intricate craftsmanship and artistic prowess prevalent during that era. The attention to detail is awe-inspiring; every curve and contour expertly sculpted by skilled hands. The juxtaposition between the powerful yet graceful figures evokes a sense of strength and femininity intertwined.
