The subject of the barrel-vaulted gallery with its ionic orders is related to one of Robert's architectural projects, the redesign of the "Grande Galerie du Louvre." From 1778 he was part of a study group with the task of redesigning the Grande Galerie as part of the construction of a major museum in the former Royal Palace.
