"Romulus and Remus Establishing Rome's Boundaries" is a renowned fresco by the Italian Baroque painter Annibale Carracci, painted circa 1597-1600. The artwork is part of a series of frescoes located in the Palazzo Magnani, Bologna, which depict the foundation and history of Rome. Carracci, known for his role in the development of the Baroque style and for his influence on the evolution of fresco painting, was commissioned by the Magnani family to decorate their urban palace with scenes that would both glorify their lineage and celebrate the grandeur of the city of Rome.

The fresco captures the legendary moment when the twin brothers, Romulus and Remus, sons of the god Mars and the priestess Rhea Silvia, delineate the future walls of Rome. According to Roman mythology, after being rescued and raised by a she-wolf, the twins decided to found a city. The scene typically portrays Romulus, after whom Rome is named, using a plough to mark the pomerium, the sacred boundary of the new city, while Remus watches or challenges the sanctity of the marked boundary, foreshadowing the fratricidal conflict that would eventually lead to Remus's death and Romulus's sole rulership.

Carracci's interpretation of this pivotal moment in Roman mythology is celebrated for its dynamic composition, vigorous figures, and the artist's masterful use of chiaroscuro to create a dramatic effect. The fresco stands as a testament to Carracci's ability to blend classical themes with the innovative techniques of the Baroque period, creating works that are both historically resonant and aesthetically compelling. The "Romulus and Remus Establishing Rome's Boundaries" remains an important example of Carracci's artistic legacy and a significant piece in the study of 16th-century Italian art.
