This engraving, “Romulus hangt het harnas van Acron in een heilige boom op het Capitool,” by Giovanni Battista Fontana, depicts the Roman founder Romulus hanging the armor of Acron, a defeated enemy, on a sacred tree in the Capitoline Hill. The scene is rich in detail, showcasing the drama of the event with numerous soldiers and a glimpse of the temple in the background. Fontana utilizes strong lines and shading to convey the depth and movement of the scene, making it a powerful example of Renaissance printmaking. The scene was created in 1572–1573.
