EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Matteo di Giovanni's painting "Legend of Romulus and Remus: the birth of Rhea Silvia". The artwork, created in the 15th century during the Italian Renaissance, measures 27.9 x 35.7 cm and is made using detrempe on wood. The painting depicts a pivotal moment in Roman mythology, as it portrays the birth of Rhea Silvia, who would later become the mother of Romulus and Remus. In this scene, a pregnant woman can be seen surrounded by figures from mythological tales. The artist skillfully captures the anticipation and wonder that accompanies childbirth. Matteo di Giovanni's attention to detail and use of vibrant colors bring life to this ancient tale. The medium age setting adds depth to the narrative, transporting viewers back to an era filled with myths and legends. Through this artwork, we are reminded not only of our fascination with mythology but also of our connection to history. It serves as a testament to human creativity throughout different periods and cultures. Displayed at Musee des Beaux Arts de Libourne in France, this piece continues to captivate audiences centuries after its creation. Leonard de Selva's photograph beautifully captures every intricate detail for all art enthusiasts to appreciate today.
