Romulus' Victory Over Acron
''Romulus' Victory Over Acron (Romulus, Conqueror of Acron)'' is a painting completed in 1812 by the French Neoclassical artist Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres. Ingres' source for this subject comes from Plutarch's ''Life of Romulus''. The painting depicts the war that resulted from the Roman abduction of the young Sabine women in an effort to remedy the shortage of women in the newly founded city of Rome. In retaliation Acron, the king of the neighbouring tribe, the Caeninenses, declared war upon the Romans. He and his tribesmen were mercilessly defeated and their city sacked by the Romans. Style and composition The subject, style and size of the piece make it clear that this piece embodies the Neoclassical tradition. At 276 x 530cm it is one of Ingres’ largest paintings and this grand scale is consistent with his previous classical subject paintings, such as '' Jupiter and Thetis''. The canvas is cast in the form of a long frieze, a style traditional of the ancient world. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
