Detailed description

Sculpture "Capitoline Wolf with Romulus and Remus", bonded bronze version

The "Lupa Capitolina" is the landmark of Rome and the symbol of power and security - and still represents the fascinating history of the Roman Empire. According to legend, the founding fathers of Rome, the twins Romulus and Remus, were abandoned as children and raised by a wolf. The wolf passed on strength, courage and a fighter's heart to her offspring. The sculptural group stood on the Capitol as a sign of power - and was struck by lightning in 65 BC - as Cicero recounted, "drawn by the gods".
Original: Bronze, Palazzo dei Conservatori, Rome. 5th century BC.

Polymer cast with bronzed surface. Reduction. On a shell limestone base. Size incl. pedestal 43 x 25 x 13.5 cm.
