EDITORS COMMENTS
Hubert Robert's captivating oil painting, "L'Ecole de chirurgie en construction" (The Surgery School Under Construction), dated 1773, offers a unique glimpse into the past of Parisian architecture and education during the 18th century. The painting depicts the neoclassical Ecole de Chirurgie, or Surgery School, undergoing construction in the 6th arrondissement of Paris. The school, later known as the Maison de Chirurgie de l'Hôtel-Dieu, was founded by Jacques Gondouin, a renowned surgeon, and was part of the Paris Descartes University. The painting captures the essence of the romantic era with its vibrant colors and the contrast between the classical architectural features and the modern scaffolding. The neoclassical facade, adorned with a portico and intricate carvings, stands proudly against the backdrop of the bustling city. Men in various stages of construction work can be seen on the scaffold, adding to the dynamic and lively scene. The painting is a testament to the rich heritage and history of Parisian architecture and education during the 18th century. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the past while embracing the present and the future. The painting is now part of the collection of the Musée Carnavalet, a renowned Paris museum, and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of Paris, architecture, or the arts. Hubert Robert, also known as Robert of the Ruins, was a prominent French painter of the late 18th century. His work, characterized by its romantic and picturesque scenes, continues to inspire and captivate art lovers around the world.
