Monks in the Cloister of the Church of Gesù e Maria, Rome 1808 François Marius Granet French This painting was first exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1808. It combines an appreciation for seventeenth-century Dutch cabinet pictures, which had been fashionable among French collectors since the late eighteenth century, with a new interest in the everyday life of contemporary Italians. In many of Granets Roman scenes, iconic settings are passed over in favor of lovingly observed but overlooked ones such as this cloister, located on the Via del Corso near his studio. Among the earliest admirers of these genre paintings was Granets closest colleague in Rome, the history painter J. A. D. Ingres.. Monks in the Cloister of the Church of Gesù e Maria, Rome 438659

Pair of Paintings: The Colonnade of St. Peter's, Rome, during the Conclave and The Grotto of Posillipo, c.1769. Hubert Robert (French, 1733-1808). Oil on canvas; framed: 56 x 47.5 x 6 cm (22 1/16 x 18 11/16 x 2 3/8 in.); unframed: 42.6 x 33.4 cm (16 3/4 x 13 1/8 in.). Hubert Robert studied and worked in Italy in 1754-65. Upon returning to Paris, he entered the Royal Academy as an architectural painter and full member in 1766. His time in Italy would prove to be influential and classical architectural subjects would dominate his subsequent work. Interior of the Colonnade of St. Peter's is based on a drawing dated from 1758, the same year that Pope Clement XIII Rezzonico was elected. Given his interest in classical subjects, Robert has antiquated his subject by aging the condition of the columns and including a soldier dressed in ancient Roman armor. Similarly, Robert imaginatively portrays the Grotto of Posillipo. Measuring over 2000 feet in length, this tunnel was carved from volcanic
