HUBERT ROBERT (1733-1808), AN IMAGINARY VIEW OF THE EASTERN FAÇADE OF THE VILLA MEDICI, WITH DRAUGHTSMEN IN THE FOREGROUND, OIL ON CANVAS, BEARS A SIGNATURE

Hubert Robert (1733-1808), as he so often delighted in doing, recreates in the present work the architecture he had observed during his Roman sojourn, presenting the viewer with a version of the Villa Medici in Rome that hovers between reality and fiction. The staircase of the Villa des Français and its balustrades adorned with marble balusters can be easily recognised, but the painter has removed the lions between the columns and raised the overall height considerably. By manipulating the scale, he lends the staircase a monumentality it does not truly possess; he further embellishes it with a pool beneath the Fountain of Silenus, originally located in the gardens of the Villa Albani. This fountain, was visible in its entirety in Rome during Robert’s stay, though part of it was subsequently brought back to France by Napolean’s pillaging armies. Its original appearance can be seen in a print by Piranesi (1720-1778) dating from 1767. In a painting dated 1775 (Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, Brussels, inv. no. 7021), Robert also borrows this fountain for an imaginary palace landscape. Judging by costumes of the draughtsmen in the foreground, the composition can be dated to the 1800s. It is an excellent example of the painter’s to the sustained use of the motifs he had observed twenty years earlier in Rome towards the end of his life, an act of creation between homage and nostalgia.
