This detail from a fresco by Gentile da Fabriano, an influential artist of the International Gothic style, portrays a scene from the founding of Rome, a popular subject in the Renaissance. The scene depicts the birth of Romulus and Remus, the founders of the city. The intricately detailed architecture, rich colors and gold accents are characteristic of the International Gothic style. The detail of the loggia, with its ornate windows and balustrade, highlights the artist’s masterful rendering of architectural elements.
