Rhea Silvia, With Romulus And Remus In The Background is a notable engraving by the German artist Heinrich Aldegrever, created in 1533. Aldegrever, a prominent figure of the Northern Renaissance, was known for his intricate engravings and his association with the Little Masters, a group of German printmakers who specialized in small, detailed works.

This particular engraving depicts the legendary figure of Rhea Silvia, the mother of Romulus and Remus, the twin founders of Rome. According to Roman mythology, Rhea Silvia was a Vestal Virgin who was impregnated by the god Mars, resulting in the birth of the twins. The engraving captures a poignant moment in the mythological narrative, with Rhea Silvia prominently featured in the foreground, exuding a sense of grace and maternal strength.

In the background, Aldegrever skillfully includes the figures of Romulus and Remus, who are shown as infants being suckled by a she-wolf, a scene that is emblematic of their early life and survival. This imagery is deeply rooted in Roman lore and has been a popular subject in art throughout the centuries. Aldegrever’s rendition is distinguished by its meticulous attention to detail and the delicate interplay of light and shadow, which enhances the dramatic and emotional impact of the scene.

The engraving is a testament to Aldegrever’s mastery of the medium and his ability to convey complex narratives through his art. It reflects the Renaissance fascination with classical antiquity and the revival of mythological themes. The work is also significant for its contribution to the visual representation of Roman mythology in Northern European art.

Rhea Silvia, With Romulus And Remus In The Background remains an important piece within Aldegrever’s oeuvre and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance. The engraving is held in various collections and is appreciated for its technical excellence and its evocative portrayal of a foundational myth of ancient Rome.
