This painting is also known as The Combat of the Romans and the Sabines.
After Guido Reni's death in 1642, Guercino left Rome and settled in Bologna, where he developed a style with bright colours and clear outlines, in which the sculptural aspect of the figures and their frieze-like arrangement recall antique bas-reliefs, as in Hersilia Separating Romulus and Tatius.
