- The artist says the ferocity of the sculpture demonstrates the monster’s ‘maternal protectiveness toward her young.’ To which we’d say: OH GOD THERE ARE YOUNG ONES TOO?
A cat? It looks more like a dog to me, maybe a wolf, a she-wolf. The Capitoline Wolf (Italian: Lupa Capitolina) is a bronze sculpture of a she-wolf suckling twin human infants, inspired by the legend of the founding of Rome. According to the legend, when Numitor, grandfather of the twins Romulus and Remus, was overthrown by his brother Amulius, the usurper ordered the twins to be cast into the Tiber River. They were rescued by a she-wolf who cared for them until a herdsman, Faustulus, found and raised them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitoline_Wolf |
