RELIEF BRONZE DEPICTING ROMULUS AND REMUS
Renaissance style, 19th century. After an etching by Heinrich Aldegraver (1502–ca. 1555/61), “Rhea Sylvia (Romulus and Remus)”, ca. 1530.
Bronze with brown patina depicting Romulus and Remus as children being kidnapped by a man. To the right stands their grieving mother (Rhea Silvia) next to a tree. In the background is a house with a landscape and, at the top left, a plaque with an inscription.
20.5 × 15.3 cm.
Provenance:
See the bronze relief of the same model kept in the Victoria & Albert Museum (Inv. No. A.111-1937), which is attributed to Thomas or Loy Hering (1484/85–1554). The etching is also attributed to Heinrich Aldegraver, although it is worth noting that a similar relief has also been attributed to Hans Vischer or Peter Vischer the Younger.
