About the piece

Painted around 1800 by the French master Hubert Robert, this work is a quintessential example of the 'capriccio' style, which blends real architectural landmarks with idealized landscapes. The circular Temple of the Sibyl at Tivoli sits majestically on a rocky outcrop, while figures converse in the foreground among fallen columns and a weathering statue, all bathed in the soft, atmospheric light of the Roman Campagna.
