About the piece
Painted by Hubert Robert in 1782, this masterwork captures a night festival given by Marie Antoinette for the Grand Duke Paul of Russia at the Petit Trianon. The glowing Temple of Love serves as a radiant focal point, casting light over the festive crowds and reflecting in the water against a vast, moody sky typical of Robert's atmospheric neoclassical style.
