EDITORS COMMENTS
Hubert Robert's Ruines romaines, le Forum avec le Colisée et l'Obélisque, painted around 1765, captures the enchanting allure of ancient Rome as seen through the romanticized lens of the 18th century. The painting showcases the iconic ruins of the Roman Forum, with the Colosseum and the Obelisk standing proudly in the background. The Colosseum, a symbol of imperial Rome's grandeur and power, is depicted partially ruined, its ancient arches and tiers giving way to the encroaching foliage. The Obelisk, an Egyptian monument transported to Rome during the reign of Caligula, adds an exotic touch to the scene. The painting is filled with a vibrant color palette, capturing the warm hues of the Italian sun. The foreground is populated with figures, both male and female, dressed in the fashion of the day, adding a sense of scale and life to the ancient ruins. The men and women are depicted in various poses, some admiring the ruins, others engaged in leisurely activities. The painting is a testament to the fascination with the ancient world during the Romantic era and the desire to preserve its heritage. It is a reminder of the enduring allure of Rome, a city that continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. This oil painting by Hubert Robert is now housed in the Musée Cognacq-Jay in Paris, one of the city's renowned museums, and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, archaeology, and the ancient world.
