Connect, theres a similar subject, but the connect goes deeper.
1)The Rape of the Sabine Women by Giambologna
2)The Intervention of the Sabine Women by the French painter Jacques-Louis David.The work was considered when Jacques-Louis David was imprisoned in the Luxembourg Palace in 1795; he hesitated between representing either this subject or that of Homer reciting his verses to the Greeks. He finally chose to make a canvas representing the Sabine women interposing themselves to separate the Romans and Sabines, as a 'sequel' to Poussin's The Rape of the Sabine Women.
Noone got it completely. Alva, peregrine, dinesh and sansaptak got the story. Dinesh came the closest though

Upon further reading, I believe there might be more to the connect. The sculpture is the "rape of the sabine women" while the painting is the "intervention of the sabine women". The first shows the abduction of the Sabine women by the citizens of the newly established Roman state. The Sabines go to war with the Romans over this but the women (who now have families with the Romans) intervene and stop the war. Nice question.
