Painting Description
"Romulus Suckled by the She-Wolf" is a notable fresco by the Italian painter Giuseppe Cesari, also known as the Cavalier d'Arpino, created during the late 16th or early 17th century. The artwork is part of a series of frescoes located in the Sala dei Horatii e Curacii, a room within the Palazzo dei Conservatori on the Capitoline Hill in Rome. This particular fresco depicts the legendary scene of the infant Romulus, who would later become the founder of Rome, along with his twin brother Remus, being nurtured by a she-wolf after being abandoned on the banks of the Tiber River.
The scene is a pivotal moment in the foundation myth of Rome and has been a subject of artistic representation since antiquity. In Cesari's rendition, the she-wolf is typically shown with the twins beneath her, emphasizing the nurturing aspect of the myth and symbolizing the protective nature of the city itself. The fresco is part of a larger decorative program that glorifies the virtues of courage, patriotism, and sacrifice, themes that are echoed in the stories of the Horatii and Curatii, ancient Roman and Alban warriors whose tales are also depicted in the room.
Giuseppe Cesari's work is characterized by his Mannerist style, which is evident in the elongated forms and dynamic composition of the fresco. His contribution to the Sala dei Horatii e Curacii is significant in the context of Roman art history and reflects the cultural and political ideals of the period in which it was created. The fresco remains an important example of Cesari's artistic legacy and continues to be a point of interest for scholars and visitors alike, contributing to the rich tapestry of Rome's visual and mythological heritage.
