EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork "Rhea Sylvia (Romulus and Remus)" by Heinrich Aldegrever, created around 1530. The piece is housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA. The image depicts a scene from Roman mythology, specifically the story of Rhea Sylvia and her twin sons Romulus and Remus. In this composition, Aldegrever skillfully captures the tender moment when Rhea Sylvia nurses her infants in a lush forest setting. Measuring approximately 5 13/16 x 3 7/8 inches (14.76 x 9.84 cm), this small but impactful artwork exemplifies Aldegrever's attention to detail and mastery of engraving techniques. The fine lines etched into the metal plate create intricate textures that bring life to each figure portrayed. The delicate shading adds depth to their forms while emphasizing their ethereal beauty. This particular print is part of the eMinneapolis Institute of Art collection, generously bequeathed by Herschel V. Jones. As an out-of-copyright German masterpiece, it continues to inspire art enthusiasts with its timeless portrayal of maternal love and mythical storytelling. Bridgeman Images has flawlessly captured every nuance of this remarkable artwork through their high-quality reproduction process, allowing viewers to appreciate its historical significance even from afar.
