description: In 1754, Hubert Robert went to Rome in the entourage of his protector, the Comte de Stainville, French Ambassador to the Holy See. In Italy he visited the sites of classical antiquity and the captivating gardens around Rome, including the Villa d’Este in Tivoli. His garden landscapes, often featuring ruins that alluded to the passing of time, were widely admired. The Italy of Robert’s youth continued to inspire his painting long after he returned to Paris in 1765. Based on the drawings he made on site, his picturesque and nostalgic views were favored by aristocratic clients and wealthy collectors.
