EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "A Capriccio of Roman Architecture" by Robert Hubert, a renowned French artist from the 18th century. Painted in 1775 with oil on canvas, this masterpiece measures 120x100.2 cm and is currently housed at the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK. The painting transports viewers to ancient Rome, where they are immersed in a world of monumental architecture and romanticism. The composition skillfully combines various elements of classical Roman design, including groin vaults, colonnades, pilasters, and a stunning loggia. These architectural features create an enchanting atmosphere that evokes both grandeur and nostalgia. Amidst this magnificent backdrop lies an array of figures who bring life to the scene. Their presence adds depth to the artwork as they interact within this imagined space filled with historical references. Hubert's capriccio technique allows him to freely combine different architectural elements from various time periods into one harmonious composition. This artistic approach creates a sense of wonderment as viewers explore this amalgamation of Roman structures. With its meticulous attention to detail and masterful execution, "A Capriccio of Roman Architecture" stands as a testament to Hubert's talent as well as his passion for ancient Rome. Its acquisition by Bristol Museum and Art Gallery was made possible through the support of the National Art Collections Fund (now The Art Fund) in 1954. This print captures not only the beauty but also the significance of this remarkable
