EDITORS COMMENTS
Hubert Robert's captivating Capriccio with the Pyramid of Gaius Cestius, created in the late 18th century, offers a whimsical and imaginative depiction of ancient Rome. This pen and ink drawing with brown and grey brown wash over black chalk counterproof on laid paper, showcases Robert's exceptional artistic skill and mastery of the capriccio genre. The scene is set in the heart of ancient Rome, with the iconic Pyramid of Gaius Cestius taking center stage. The pyramid, a testament to Rome's rich history and cultural heritage, stands proudly against a backdrop of classical architecture, including columns, arches, and fountains. Robert's capriccio is not a mere historical record, but rather a playful and imaginative interpretation of the past. He populates the scene with figures, both human and canine, engaged in various activities. A woman in a flowing gown leans over a fountain, filling a bucket, while a group of men and dogs frolic in the foreground. The use of black, brown, and grey tones adds depth and texture to the drawing, creating a sense of depth and dimension. The contrast between the black ink and brown wash further enhances the visual impact, highlighting the intricate details of the architecture and the figures. Hubert Robert, a French artist, was known for his capricci, which were conceptual drawings that combined elements of architecture, landscape, and fantasy. This particular work is a testament to his artistic vision and his ability to transport viewers to another time and place. The Capriccio with the Pyramid of Gaius Cestius is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, ancient Rome, or the capriccio genre. It is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and is a beloved addition to the museum's extensive collection.
