"The Rape of the Sabine Women" is a term that refers to a group of artworks inspired by a legendary episode in the early history of Rome. This event, as recounted by ancient Roman historians such as Livy, involved the abduction of women from the neighboring Sabine families by the founding male members of Rome, led by Romulus, to provide wives for the city's first citizens. The term "rape" in this context is derived from the Latin word "rapio," meaning to seize or carry off by force, and does not necessarily imply sexual assault as understood in modern English.

Artworks depicting this narrative fall under the Italian School, given their creation by numerous Italian artists across different periods, particularly during the Renaissance and Baroque eras. These works vary in medium, including painting, sculpture, and fresco, and are notable for their exploration of themes such as conflict, reconciliation, and the foundational myths of Rome. Artists who have famously tackled this subject include Giambologna, whose sculpture "The Rape of the Sabine Women" (1579-1583) is a masterful example of Mannerist art, and Pietro da Cortona, with his Baroque fresco in the Palazzo Pitti. Additionally, the Renaissance painter Nicolas Poussin created multiple interpretations of the event, emphasizing its dramatic and moral complexities.

The depiction of "The Rape of the Sabine Women" by artists of the Italian School is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its reflection of the political and social contexts of the times in which these works were created. These artworks often served as allegories for contemporary events or as expressions of civic pride, illustrating the enduring influence of ancient Roman history on Italian culture and art. Through their dynamic compositions, emotional depth, and intricate storytelling, these works continue to captivate viewers, offering insights into both the mythic past and the artistic ingenuity of their creators.
