Roman Ruins, Villa Pamfili, 1774. Creator: Hubert Robert (French, 1733-1808)
Roman Ruins, Villa Pamfili, 1774. While living in Italy, Robert developed a fondness for classical architecture, making countless drawings that served as the basis for paintings and prints for decades after he returned to Paris. Denis Diderot (1713-1784), a French philosopher and art critic, nicknamed the artist " Robert of Ruins" due to Roberts enduring interest in the subject. A quaint commentary on the passage of time, this drawing portrays the activities of contemporary life among the weathered remains of an ancient Roman building. Despite the traditional title of the drawing, there is no evidence that such ruins ever existed at the Villa Pamphili. The towering columns supporting a decorative frieze may instead derive from the Roman Forums Temple of Saturn

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Roman Ruins, Villa Pamfili, 1774" by Hubert Robert transports viewers to a world of ancient grandeur and contemporary life. The French artist developed a deep admiration for classical architecture during his time in Italy, which is evident in the meticulous details of this artwork. Known as "Robert of Ruins" he dedicated countless hours to sketching ruins that would later inspire his paintings and prints. In this particular drawing, we witness the juxtaposition of modern activities against the backdrop of weathered Roman remains. It serves as a quaint commentary on the passage of time, highlighting how life continues amidst the remnants of an ancient civilization. Interestingly, despite its title suggesting otherwise, there is no historical evidence that such ruins ever existed at Villa Pamphili. The towering columns depicted here bear resemblance to those found at Rome's Temple of Saturn in the Roman Forum. This blending of architectural elements showcases Robert's artistic creativity and imagination. Rendered with pen and black ink, watercolor washes, black chalk underdrawing, and touches of white gouache on cream laid paper; this artwork exemplifies Robert's mastery over various mediums. Preserved by The Cleveland Museum of Art (not associated with any commercial use), this print from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate Hubert Robert's enduring fascination with ruins while capturing our imagination with its timeless beauty.
