EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic moment of "The founding of Rome by Romulus" in a 14th-century miniature. Created by the Italian School, this artwork is housed in the Biblioteca Universidad in Valencia, Spain. The image beautifully captures the legendary tale of Romulus and Remus, twin brothers who were raised by a she-wolf and went on to found one of history's greatest cities. In this intricate depiction from Francesco Petrarch's manuscript "De Viris Illustribus" we witness the horse duel between Romulus and Remus that ultimately led to Romulus becoming the victorious ruler of Rome. The artist skillfully portrays the intensity and determination as both brothers confront each other with their armed forces. This artwork not only highlights an important moment in Roman mythology but also pays homage to Petrarch himself - an influential philosopher, intellectual, and poet from Italy during the 14th century. The inclusion of this masterpiece within his manuscript further emphasizes its significance. As we admire this stunning piece, it serves as a reminder of Italy's rich cultural heritage and its contribution to European history. This image transports us back in time, allowing us to immerse ourselves in ancient legends while appreciating the artistry behind every brushstroke.
