Discover one of the most remarkable paintings exhibited at Musée du Louvre, The Rape of the Sabine Women by Nicolas Poussin. This masterpiece was painted in 1637 using oil on canvas and is currently located in Paris, France.
The Painting
The Rape of the Sabine Women depicts a large group of people gathered in a city square. The painting shows some individuals holding red cloths, and they appear to be engaged in a heated discussion about what to do with them.
The Story Behind the Painting
The Rape of the Sabine Women is not only the title of this painting but also describes a horrendous incident in history. The founding of Rome in around 800BC by Romulus and his men was followed by a shortage of women, which led to the abduction of the Sabine women.
