Description: | Signed: yes Description: The painting is dominated by the violent scene in the left foreground: a Roman has lifted a Sabine off the ground to carry her away. Her upper body is exposed; pose and face suggest distress. A woman on the ground tries to grasp her from below and a Roman holds her back. In the middle-ground, another woman is dragged away near a column with Romulus and Remus suckled by the wolf. In the background is an agitated crowd. Subject, composition, accurate anatomy and dress recall neo-classicism. However, broad and sketchy brushstrokes are impressionistic, heightening the sense of immediacy and brusque movement. | Subjects: | history (Rape of the Sabines); figure; place (Rome) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Garrido, Eduardo León (Spanish painter, 1856-1949) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8743... | Go to resource |
