EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in Roman mythology - the foundation of Rome by Romulus and Remus. The intricate illustration, created by Tancredi Scarpelli, depicts the legendary twin brothers standing before the city's walls. In an act of defiance, Romulus inscribes a chilling message on the wall: "It will be the same for all those who dare to cross my walls". This foreboding declaration foreshadows a tragic turn of events. According to ancient lore, Remus mockingly leaps over his brother's newly built walls as an act of derision. Enraged by this disrespect, Romulus takes swift action and slays his own flesh and blood. As he delivers this fatal blow, he utters words that echo through history: "So perish every one that shall hereafter leap over my wall". The image not only captures this dramatic scene but also showcases Scarpelli's incredible attention to detail and artistic skill. Every line and shadow brings life to these mythical figures and their fateful encounter. Taken from Paolo Giudici's "Storia d'Italia" (History of Italy) published in 1930, this private collection photograph from Fine Art Finder immerses us in the rich tapestry of Roman mythology while highlighting its enduring impact on Italian culture. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are reminded of the power struggles inherent in human nature and how they have shaped our collective history since time immemorial.
