Document Summary
Title, artist, date, medium, location, significance in terms of style, subject, historical context and expression of meaning. Debated work of art (dated back to truscan or medieval). Etruscans lived w/ the romans at the time and the romans borrowed a lot made by the etruscans. So some say that this was made by the etruscans and not the. Others scholars say that this piece was cast in one piece so it must be medieval (15th century) Romulus and remus (15th century) were added later. Brought inside for the museum in the 18th century. Bronze sculpture of the mythical she-wolf suckling the twins, romulus and remus, from the legend of the founding of rome. Gave it back to the people of rome.
