"The She-Wolf Suckling Romulus and Remus, from the 'History of Romulus' cycle, c.1590" is a renowned artwork by Agostino Carracci, an influential figure in the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods. This piece is part of a larger series of works that depict the legendary narrative of the founding of Rome, focusing on the pivotal moment when the twin brothers Romulus and Remus, the mythological founders of Rome, are nurtured by a she-wolf. The story, deeply embedded in Roman mythology, symbolizes the city's strength and endurance, with the she-wolf often regarded as an emblem of Rome itself.

Agostino Carracci, born in Bologna in 1557, was a member of the prominent Carracci family of artists, which included his brother Annibale Carracci and cousin Ludovico Carracci. Together, they established the Accademia degli Incamminati, which played a crucial role in the development of the Baroque style in Italian art. Agostino was known for his versatility, excelling in painting, engraving, and teaching, and his works often reflected a blend of naturalism and classicism.

Created around 1590, "The She-Wolf Suckling Romulus and Remus" showcases Agostino Carracci's mastery of composition and his ability to convey narrative through visual art. The work is characterized by its dynamic figures and dramatic use of light and shadow, which serve to highlight the central scene of the she-wolf tenderly feeding the abandoned twins. The figures are rendered with a sense of movement and realism that reflects the artist's deep understanding of human anatomy and the natural world.

This artwork not only represents a significant moment in the founding myth of Rome but also exemplifies the artistic transition from the Renaissance to the Baroque period. Agostino Carracci's contribution to this cycle of works has been appreciated for its historical importance and its artistic merit, as it captures the spirit of an era that was deeply invested in the exploration of classical themes and the human condition.

"The She-Wolf Suckling Romulus and Remus" remains an important piece in the oeuvre of Agostino Carracci and continues to be studied and admired for its historical significance and its embodiment of the artistic ideals of its time.
