ROBERT, Hubert
(b. 1733, Paris, d. 1808, Paris)

Fountain on a Palace Terrace

-
Oil on canvas, 28 x 40 cm
Residenzgalerie, Salzburg

Robert created imaginary views of landscapes with buildings and picturesque motifs in romantic locations, all of which far removed from reality. The Fountain on a Palace Terrace exemplifies the way that the artist painted pastoral scenes in a theatrical architectural setting.
