Copy of the “Lupa Capitolina” (Capitoline Wolf)
Piazza del Campidoglio
Capitoline Hill
Rome, May 2019
“The sculpture is somewhat larger than life-size, standing 75 cm (30 in) high and 114 cm (45 in) long. The wolf is depicted in a tense, watchful pose, with alert ears and glaring eyes, which are watching for danger. By contrast, the human twins – executed in a completely different style – are oblivious to their surroundings, absorbed by their suckling.” (Capitoline Wolf, Wikipedia)
