RE: Romulus and Remus - (#club100)
The sculpture of Romulus and Remus is very famous because of the history, as a child I read many of the ancient Roman and Greek mythology. Maybe because for every of the character there was a sculpture and of course a lot of drawings in such books. To tell the truth first I studied the drawings and then read books.
The paved walkway with two statues on both sides is impressive, seeing how big the people and the size of statue just makes to think how small we are and how great the ancient artists were to create such statues in such dimension. Beautiful photos :)
Hi Stef,
I also remember how fascinated I was with Greek and Roman mythology books, first because of the drawings and paintings they contained, then because they were entertaining and interesting to read.
I believe that the great artists of that time would not have existed if it were not for the patronage exercised by rich and influential people, eager to show their power and influence.
I think if today's artists had comparable support there would be great work too.
