Finding of the She-WolfCarracci brothers

753
The Carracci brothers’ 1596 fresco depicts the legendary founding of Rome, showing Faustulus discovering the she-wolf nurturing Romulus and Remus by the Tiber River. This scene alludes to the Capitoline Wolf, a symbol of Rome, housed in the same museum.
