About the piece
This masterful work by Hubert Robert depicts the École de Chirurgie in Paris during its construction in 1773. Known for his atmospheric architectural scenes, Robert beautifully renders the play of light across the Neoclassical columns and the bustling activity of the stonemasons in the foreground, offering a sophisticated window into Enlightenment-era Paris.
