About the Item
Neoclassical capriccio view of majestic Roman ruins with small figures engaged in daily activities in the background.
Pencil, ink and wash on paper. Set in a Louis XVI style giltwood frame.
Capricci, typically defined as an architectural fantasy, were popular among Grand Tourists, conjuring romantic images of Italy, especially the picturesque decay of classical ruins, and were prized as a mark of the artist’s imaginative expression. The French artist of the second half of the 18th Century who best showed this trend is Hubert Robert. The small figures help in demonstrating scale.
More generally, Neoclassical art rose in popularity in mid-18th-century Europe, where the style drew heavily from both the Renaissance and classical Greek and Roman art, architecture, and culture. The roots of the movement were primarily driven by the contemporaneous discoveries of Greek and Roman archaeological sites which offered unprecedented first-hand exposure to antiquity. From buildings complete with columns inspired by Greek temples to the grand compositions of French 18th-century painting, Neoclassicism recalled some of the most iconic features and motifs of classical art, demonstrating a renewed interest in the symmetry, harmony and proportions of classical antiquity. Our drawing illustrates beautifully these traits.
