EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Stables of Maecenas at Tivoli" by Jean-Honoré Fragonard, a renowned French artist from the 18th century. The artwork, created with red chalk on paper, measures 35.7x49.4 cm and is currently housed in the Musee des Beaux-Arts et d'Archeologie in Besancon, France. The image transports us to ancient Rome, specifically to the grand estate of Gaius Cilnius Maecenas during his time as a Roman diplomat and counselor to Emperor Augustus. The stables depicted here were located in Tivoli and are an exquisite example of Fragonard's meticulous attention to detail. In this drawing, we witness an underground scene filled with architectural marvels such as barrel vaults and cascading waterfalls that add a touch of enchantment to the ruins surrounding them. Figures can be seen exploring this archaeological site, perhaps discovering remnants of history hidden within these walls. Fragonard's work not only captures the beauty and grandeur of these stables but also provides insight into the fascination with antiquity during the 18th and 19th centuries when many embarked on their Grand Tours across Europe. As we admire this print from Fine Art Finder without commercial intentions or affiliations mentioned by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to experience both artistic mastery and historical significance intertwined within one captivating piece.
