Figures in a Colonnade. Artist: Hubert Robert (French, Paris 1733-1808 Paris). Dimensions: 23 1/16 (including added strip at bottom) x 17 9/16 in. (58.6 x 44 .7 cm). Date: c.1780.Leaning on fragments of fallen columns or overturned entablatures, soldiers and peasants focus their regard on an ancient statue of a seated man. No attributes permit us to identify the sculpture, nor the time or location where the scene takes place. The vagueness was intentional, for Robert's aim was not historical veracity, but rather, to free the imagination of the viewer. His idealized vision of visitors exploring a vast ancient ruin is, conceived broadly, a glorification both of the past civilizations that built such structures and of those who come to learn from them. The theme of the tunnel or gallery is so frequent in Hubert Robert's work that it was the subject of a book published in 1978 by art historian André Corboz, in which he studied Robert's sources, his innovations, and his symbolism.
