Arnold Houbraken's painting "Romulus and Remus Discovered by the Herdsman Faustulus" is a depiction of the legendary tale from Roman mythology. The artwork illustrates the moment when the twin brothers, Romulus and Remus, are found by the shepherd Faustulus. According to the myth, the twins were abandoned at birth and left to die by the order of their great-uncle Amulius. They were placed in a basket and set adrift on the Tiber River, eventually being discovered by a she-wolf who nursed them. Faustulus later found the twins and took them in, raising them as his own.

Houbraken, a Dutch painter and art historian, is known for his detailed and expressive style, which is evident in this work. The painting captures the dramatic and emotional moment of discovery, with Faustulus portrayed as a compassionate and protective figure. The background often includes elements of the natural landscape, emphasizing the wilderness where the twins were found.

While Houbraken is primarily recognized for his biographies of Dutch painters, his artistic contributions, such as this painting, reflect his ability to convey narrative and emotion. The use of light and shadow in the painting highlights the innocence of the twins and the nurturing aspect of the she-wolf, creating a dynamic composition that draws the viewer into the mythological story.

This painting is a fine example of Houbraken's work during the late 17th to early 18th century, a period when classical themes were popular in European art. It reflects the fascination with ancient Roman history and mythology that was prevalent among artists of the time. Although not as widely known as some of his contemporaries, Houbraken's work remains a valuable part of the Baroque art movement, offering insight into the storytelling techniques and cultural interests of the era.
