About the piece
Painted by Jean-Baptiste Pillement in 1765, this work captures the romantic allure of antiquity. The crumbling architecture of the Temple of Minerva Medica is softened by lush greenery, while a couple in the foreground and a distant waterfall add a serene, pastoral quality to the Italianate scene.
