About the painting
Hersilia Separating Romulus and Tatius or The Battle Between the Romans and the Sabines is a 1645 oil on canvas painting by Guercino, seized by the state during the French Revolution in 1794 and placed in the Louvre, where it still hangs. It shows Hersilia breaking up a battle between her husband Romulus and her Sabine brother Titus Tatius, with two other unnamed women doing similar in the background.
