NOTE: Earning the nickname 'Robert des Ruines' ("Robert of Ruins"), Hubert Robert is considered amongst the most important painters of architectural ruins and capriccios (imaginary landscapes) in 18th century France. His paintings were particularly popular with French aristocracy, undoubtedly helped by his father Nicolas Robert being an upper-servant to the Marquis of Choiseul-Stainville. By the 1770s, Robert had received the appointment of Draftsman and Designer of the King's Gardens. He also designed gardens for the Marquis de Laborde and the Marquis de Girardin, and the philosopher Voltaire commissioned him to paint decorations for his theater at Ferney. Robert received a classical education at the Collège de Navarre in Paris, and later with the entourage of the Count of Stainville in Rome in 1754.

  • Fragonard, Jean Honoré Also Known As Fragonard, Jean-Honoré French, 1732 - 1806
    National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS French Paintings of the Fifteenth through Eighteenth Centuries Fragonard, Jean Honoré Also known as Fragonard, Jean-Honoré French, 1732 - 1806 BIOGRAPHY Fragonard was one of the most prolific of the eighteenth-century painters and draftsmen. Born in 1732 in Grasse in southern France, he moved with his family at an early age to Paris. He first took a position as a clerk, but having demonstrated an interest in art, he worked in the studio of the still life and genre painter Jean Siméon Chardin (French, 1699 - 1779). After spending a short time with Chardin, from whom he probably learned merely the bare rudiments of his craft, he entered the studio of François Boucher (French, 1703 - 1770). Under Boucher’s tutelage Fragonard’s talent developed rapidly, and he was soon painting decorative pictures and pastoral subjects very close to his master’s style (for example, Diana and Endymion). Although Fragonard apparently never took courses at the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture, he entered the Prix de Rome competition in 1752, sponsored by Boucher, winning the coveted first prize on the strength of Jeroboam Sacrificing to the Idols (Paris, École des Beaux-Arts). Before leaving for Italy, however, he entered the École des élèves protégés in Paris, a school established to train the most promising students of the Académie royale. There he studied history and the classics and worked with the director, Carle Van Loo (French, 1705 - 1765), one of the leading painters of the day. Van Loo’s influence on Fragonard’s art is evident in the large Psyche Showing Her Sisters the Gifts She Has Received from Cupid (London, National Gallery), a fluidly painted work that was exhibited to King Louis XV (r.

The series is compared to Robert’s images of urban demolition projects in eighteenth-century Paris, which are discussed in relation to contemporary discourses relating to architecture, politics, history, hygiene, morality and social changes. The focus paintings of contemporary Paris include L’intérieur de l’Eglise des SS. Innocents, dans le commencement de sa destruction (c.1786-87), La démolition des maisons du Pont Notre-Dame (c.1786) and La démolition des maisons du Pont-au-Change (c.1788).

  • Ruin Imagery and the Iconography of Regeneration in Eighteenth Century French Art
    RUIN IMAGERY AND THE ICONOGRAPHY OF REGENERATION IN EIGHTEENTH CENTURY FRENCH ART by Stephen Henry Whitney "" Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts 1977 APPROVAL SHEET Title of Thesis: Ruin Imagery and the Iconography of Regeneration in Eighteenth Century French Art Name of Candidate: Stephen Whitney Master of Arts, 1977 Thesis and Abstract Approved: Boctor George Levitine Professor Department of Art Date Approved: ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: Ruin Imagery and the Iconography of Regen­ eration in Eighteenth Century French Art Stephen Henry Whitney, Master of Arts, 1977 Thesis directed by: Doctor George Levitine Professor, Art Department While the extraordinary popularity of ruin imagery in eighteenth century France is well known to art historians, it has remained a largely unstudied, and thus misunderstood, cultural phenomenon. The profusion of ruin pictures and ruinous garden pavilions during the Enlightenment is general- ly interpreted as symptomatic of the emotional febrility and escapist perversity of a society bogged down in decadence. The popularity of ruins as motifs of interior decoration is taken as proof of the reign of rococo frivolity. The present study seeks to bring into focus how eight- eenth century artists, connoisseurs and writers themselves felt about their ruin imagery. This examination is called for because the evidence of documents, literary sources and the art itself overwhelmingly suggests that ruins were consid- ered to be symbolic of nature's regenerative vitality and wholesomeness. To the contemporary viewer, therefore, the experience of a ruin was an antidote to, not a symptom of, social and personal lethargy.

Throughout the late 1810s and 1820s, he painted portraits of clients in cities and towns along the Atlantic seaboard.

  • Piranesi, Pompeii and Alexandria
    $UFKLWHFWXUDO van Eck, C. 2018. The Style Empire and its Pedigree: Piranesi, Pompeii and Alexandria. Architectural Histories, +LVWRULHV 6(1): 16, pp. 1–16. DOI: https://doi.org/10.5334/ah.339 RESEARCH ARTICLE The Style Empire and its Pedigree: Piranesi, Pompeii and Alexandria Caroline van Eck The Style Empire offers a unique laboratory to study the dynamics of stylistic transformation, since it is the last attempt to create a new French court style, devised consciously by Napoleon, like the court ceremonial he reinstated, as a successor to the styles of the Bourbons. At the same time it is a revival of Greek and Roman forms, but renewed by the discovery of Herculaneum and Pompei, Napoleon’s Egyptian expedition, and nourished by Piranesi’s widening of the range of classical forms to include Etruscan, Republican Roman or Egyptian forms. Taking as its focus one of the best-preserved monuments of the Style Empire, the Hôtel de Beauharnais in Paris, this essay will argue that its revival of past styles is not simply a matter of nostalgia, or a historicist desire to imitate the past. Instead it should be understood as a particular approach to composition. Its rationale can best be understood by tracing successive transformations of forms developed in the cosmopolitan Hellenistic architecture of Alexandria and Petra, taken up and preserved in Pompeian interior design and mural painting, and resurfacing in Piranesi’s furni- ture design. This essay singles out the particular approach to composition developed by Piranesi, and its ancestry in Pompeian mural painting and Hellenistic architecture and poetry, as a defining characteristic of the Style Empire.
