EDITORS COMMENTS
Hubert Robert's captivating drawing, "Courtyard of the Villa Pliniana," transports us back to the 18th century with its intricate depiction of an Italian architectural masterpiece. The French artist, known as Robert of the Ruins, masterfully captures the romantic allure of the ancient villa with his pen and ink drawing, enhanced by brown and grey wash and watercolor on beige laid paper. The central focus of the composition is the courtyard, where a tranquil scene unfolds. The arched loggia, adorned with columns, frames the view, while the sun casts dappled shadows on the cobblestone floor. Two dogs playfully frolic among the figures, adding a touch of whimsy to the otherwise formal setting. Hubert Robert, a versatile artist, is often regarded as a landscape architect and an architectural draftsman. His ability to capture the essence of a place, both in its grandeur and its details, is evident in this stunning work. The artist's use of black colour, contrasted with the grey and brown tones, adds depth and texture to the drawing, making it a standout piece of the romantic era. The Villa Pliniana, located in Italy, has been a source of inspiration for many artists throughout history. Robert's depiction of the courtyard is a testament to the enduring appeal of this historic site, which continues to captivate visitors and art lovers alike. This print, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art and architecture.
