1770
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Title Page is a 1770 ink by Hubert Robert, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white etched image of a fancy hat sitting on a pedestal, surrounded by a wreath of leaves. The text below reads *"Les Soirées de Rome"* and credits someone named Robert as the artist. The whole scene looks like a print meant for a book or a collection. The hat and wreath are drawn with fine, detailed lines, typical of etchings. The text says this is the first volume of a series, likely about Rome. If you like this style, look up etching next to see how artists create these sharp, precise prints.
Hubert Robert (French pronunciation: ; 22 May 1733 – 15 April 1808) was a French painter in the school of Romanticism, noted especially for his landscape paintings and capricci, or semi-fictitious picturesque depictions of ruins in Italy and of France.
