Om verket
Hubert Robert’s Le Temple Antique, dated 1763–64, is the fifth etching in a suite and is now in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. The woman with a muff may be Marguerite Le Compte, to whom he dedicated the prints. She visited Rome in 1764 with Claude Henri Watelet; both were amateur etchers. Robert probably hoped for her future support. Based on his ink drawings, the suite placed imagined figures beside identifiable Roman monuments and statues, linking invented encounters with recognisable city settings.
Med museets egna ord
Derived from his own pen-and-ink drawings, this suite of etchings features fictional characters situated near recognizable buildings and statues in Rome. On the title page, Robert dedicated the suite to Marguerite Le Compte, who visited Rome in 1764 in the company of the wealthy author and art enthusiast Claude Henri Watelet. Both Le Compte and Watelet were amateur etchers, and they socialized with a group that included artists and printmakers centered at the academies in Italy. Robert’s dedication was likely motivated by the hope of future patronage from Le Compte. She may be the generous woman with a hand muff depicted in The Ancient Temple, the fifth scene in this series.
