Grand Gallery of the Louvre in Ruins
Grand Gallery of the Louvre in Ruins c1796 by French Painter Hubert Robert (1733 – 1808), who specialized in creating artwork of the Rococo, Neoklasicizam, Romanticism, Realizam, and Renaissance styles.
This is an Imaginary View of the Grand Gallery of the Louvre in Ruins that shows the once great gallery in total shambles.
The roof of the structure has caved in and there is rubble everywhere; with a few marble statues and bust still standing or laying on the ground in pieces.
There are people living within the ruins and others looking for anything of value and one artist sitting in the rubble as he draws an image of the last great statue of a time of greatness.

Hubert Robert je rođen u Parizu godine 1733. Njegov otac, Nicolas Robert, bio u službi François-Josepha de Choiseula, markiz de Stainville vodeći diplomat iz Lorraine. Mladi Robert završio je studij kod isusovaca na Collège de Navarre godine 1751 i ušao u atelje kipara Michel-Angea Slodtza koji ga je naučio dizajnu i perspektivi, ali ga je potaknuo da se okrene slikarstvu. U 1754 otišao je u Rim vlakom Étienne-Françoisa de Choiseula, son of his father’s employer, koji je imenovan francuskim veleposlanikom i postat će državni tajnik vanjskih poslova Luja XV 1758.
U Rimu je proveo punih jedanaest godina, izvanredna duljina vremena; after the young artist’s official residence at the French Academy in Rome ran out, uzdržavao se djelima koja je stvarao za gostujuće znalce poput opata de Saint-Nona, koji je u travnju odveo Roberta u Napulj 1760 posjetiti ruševine Pompeja. Markiz de Marigny, direktor Bâtiments du Roi pratio je njegov razvoj u dopisivanju s Natoireom, ravnatelj Francuske akademije, koji je poticao umirovljenike da crtaju vani, iz prirode: Roberta nije trebalo nagovarati; crteži iz njegovih blokova za crtanje dokumentiraju njegova putovanja: Villa d’Este, Caprarola.
