Capitoline Wolf in Giallo Antico

A striking sculpture in Giallo Antico marble depicting the celebrated Capitoline Wolf with Romulus and Remus, one of the most enduring symbols of Rome and its legendary origins. Created during the nineteenth century, the work reflects the taste of the Grand Tour, which helped popularise subjects inspired by the history and mythology of ancient Rome throughout Europe.

The composition is distinguished by its refined sculptural execution and the enduring appeal of its subject, reinterpreted through the lens of nineteenth-century collecting culture. The warm tones and natural veining of the Giallo Antico marble further enhance the elegance and decorative presence of the work.
