"The Rape of the Sabine Women; and The Intervention of the Sabine Women" is a pair of oil paintings by the Austrian Baroque artist Johann Georg Platzer, created in the 18th century. Platzer, known for his small-scale, highly detailed works, often depicted historical and mythological scenes with a dynamic composition and rich color palette. These particular paintings illustrate two consecutive episodes from the legendary early history of Rome.

The first painting, "The Rape of the Sabine Women," captures the moment described by ancient Roman historians in which the first generation of Roman men, at the instigation of Romulus, abducted women from the neighboring Sabine tribe to take as wives. This event was said to have occurred during a festival in Rome to which they had invited their neighbors. Platzer's rendition of this dramatic scene is filled with movement and emotion, as the Roman men seize the Sabine women, who are depicted as resisting and expressing despair.

The companion piece, "The Intervention of the Sabine Women," portrays the subsequent event where the Sabine women, now the wives and mothers of Roman men, intervene to stop a battle between their Roman husbands and their Sabine fathers and brothers. The women are shown courageously placing themselves between the warring parties, pleading for peace and the unification of the two communities. This act is said to have led to the merging of the Sabines and Romans into a single people.

Platzer's works are notable for their intricate detail and the vivid storytelling conveyed through the figures' expressive gestures and the complex interplay of the scenes. The paintings are exemplary of the Baroque period's emphasis on drama, tension, and the use of art to convey powerful narratives. They reflect the artist's mastery of composition and his ability to bring to life the grandeur and pathos of classical stories.

The paintings are significant both as works of art and as cultural artifacts that illustrate how artists of the Baroque period engaged with classical antiquity to explore themes of love, conflict, and reconciliation. They offer insight into the values and aesthetics of the time and continue to be studied for their artistic merit and historical representation.
