About the piece
Painted in 1781 by Hubert Robert, this oil on panel work showcases the artist's mastery of light and atmosphere. The scene looks out over a wide valley punctuated by a winding river and distant architecture, while in the foreground, figures—including one capturing the view on paper—add a narrative human element to the grand natural setting.
