Flemish baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens painted his 'Rape of the Sabines' in oil 1635-1637. It now hangs in the National Gallery In London, England. The theme is the legendary tale in early Rome, when Romulus and his men who founded Rome needed wives and invited the neighboring Sabines to a feast. At a given signal during the festivities, the Romans grabbed Sabine women to take as their wives. The Romans then fought the Sabines to win the women back, but the women stood between the two sides and asked them to stop. The two sides agreed and merged into one nation.
