Painting Description
"Faustulus Discovering Romulus and Remus Being Suckled by the She-Wolf" (French: "Faustulus Découvrant Romulus et Rémus Allaités par la Louve") is a significant historical painting by Guillaume Guillon-Lethière, a prominent French neoclassical painter of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Completed in 1798, this artwork delves into the mythological origins of Rome, depicting the moment when the shepherd Faustulus stumbles upon the twin brothers Romulus and Remus, who, according to legend, were suckled by a she-wolf after being abandoned in the Tiber River.
Guillaume Lethière, born in Guadeloupe in 1760 and active during a period of great political upheaval in France, was known for his large-scale history paintings that often contained moral or political messages. "Faustulus Discovering Romulus and Remus" is no exception, as it reflects the themes of origin and identity, which were particularly resonant during the time of the French Revolution and the subsequent rise of Napoleon.
The painting is characterized by its dramatic composition and the use of chiaroscuro to highlight the central figures of the narrative. Lethière's classical training is evident in the careful attention to anatomy and the use of a restrained color palette, which emphasizes the gravity of the scene. The work is a testament to Lethière's skill in blending the academic rigor of neoclassicism with the emotional intensity that would later come to define the Romantic movement.
"Faustulus Discovering Romulus and Remus" has been noted for its influence on subsequent generations of artists and its role in shaping the neoclassical movement in France. The painting is housed in a prestigious institution, reflecting its importance in the canon of French art history. As a depiction of a foundational myth of Western civilization, the work continues to captivate audiences with its powerful storytelling and masterful execution.
