About the Item
Oil on Canvas. Roman school of the 17th century.
The large scene depicts the famous episode somewhere between real history and legend, first recounted by Titus Livius in his "Ab urbe condita libri" (the books of the "History of Rome from its foundation").
To populate the city newly founded, Romulus the founder and first king of the city, resorted to a stratagem: he invited the Sabines, who lived in the nearby city of Curi, to the Consualia festival, in honor of the god Neptune, and kidnapped their women.
The painting depicts the moment when the Romans kidnap the Sabine women, forcibly removing them from their companions, under the eyes of the king, who if remains defiladed behind the columns of the temple of the deity, precisely the god Neptune recognizable by the trident.
In the center posteriorly the 'obelisk, which for the Romans acquired the symbolic meaning as spoils of war and testimony to imperial strength.
The many figures intertwine with each other, chasing each other, overlapping, creating plays of bodies and color effects.
Restored and re-tinted, the painting is presented in an antique frame.
