About the piece
Painted around 1760 by Hubert Robert, this masterful capriccio captures the romantic allure of antiquity that fascinated 18th-century Europe. The work juxtaposes the monumental scale of weathered Roman arches with the humble, everyday activities of figures by the water, all rendered in Robert's signature luminous and atmospheric style.
