EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, titled "Plate 9: The Pulley". Hubert Robert transports us to the enchanting streets of Rome in the 18th century. A man and a woman engage in an animated conversation towards the right side of the image, their gestures suggesting a lively exchange of ideas. As we observe them, our eyes are drawn to a lantern hanging on a post to the left, casting a soft glow on the scene. The etching beautifully captures the essence of old-fashioned charm and romance that permeated this era. The intricate details bring to life every element within the composition - from the ladder leaning against a nearby wall to the pole with its pulley system overhead. Robert's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth and dimensionality to his work. The street lamp illuminates not only its immediate surroundings but also highlights subtle nuances in facial expressions and body language as these two individuals converse under its warm radiance. As we delve into this artwork, we are transported back in time, immersing ourselves in an era long gone yet preserved through art. This piece serves as a testament to Robert's skill as both an artist and storyteller, capturing moments frozen in time for future generations to appreciate. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print is part of Robert's renowned series "Les Soirées de Rome" showcasing his fascination with Italian landscapes and architectural wonders.
