Architectural Capriccio
by ROBERT, Hubert, Oil on canvas, 67 x 81 cm
This architectural capriccio shows troubadours and washerwomen by a basin among Roman ruins, a pyramid beyond. At the centre, Robert recreates the commanding bronze equestrian statue of Cosimo I de’ Medici, which had been unveiled in the Piazza della Signoria in Florence in 1594.
