Eighteenth-century Rome was a cosmopolitan centre that became a mecca for artists, collectors, and enlightened art lovers. It was also the primary destination for artists from France wanting to perfect their craft. This work highlights the artistic effervescence of the Eternal City, where French artists were able to study ancient monuments and masterpieces of sculpture and painting, benefitting from the protection of influential patrons with a passion for the arts. Featuring more than one hundred works, this volume offers an exceptional selection of drawings and prints together with a large number of paintings. It presents works by artists regarded as among the most significant of their day, in particular Hubert Robert, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, and Jacques-Louis David.
