About the piece
Created in 1776 by Hubert Robert, this oil painting captures the romantic allure of antiquity through a 'capriccio' composition. The scene features the iconic Pyramid of Cestius alongside the remains of a Corinthian temple, using a warm, golden palette to evoke a sense of nostalgic grandeur and the enduring nature of history.
