Mystères d’un temple laiterie - 2011.

Hubert Robert, peintre appelé par ses contemporains et la postérité « Robert des ruines », échappe à la morbidité que ce surnom suggère. Définitivement marqué par la beauté des vestiges romains contemplés, dessinés et peints pendant dix années de jeunesse, cet artiste ami des Lumières trouve dans la thématique des ruines qui traverse toute son œuvre, plus encore que la méditation attendue sur le temps et la vanité des empires, une invite à la « construction » au sens maçonnique du terme. Le chef-d’œuvre conservé au musée Jacquemart-André : « Galerie en ruines » en offre la secrète et vivifiante représentation. Hubert Robert was nicknamed “Robert of the Ruins” by his contemporaries, and that is how he went down in posterity. Nevertheless, despite the connotations carried by that name, there is nothing morbid about him. Permanently marked by the beauty of the Roman ruins which he contemplated, drew and painted for a decade in his early years, Hubert Robert admired the Enlightenment and considered the theme of ruins that runs through his work as much more than a mere call for meditation on time and the vanity of empires. He saw that theme as an invitation to “construct” in the Masonic meaning of the word. This meaning finds its illustration, hidden yet refreshing, in “Gallery in Ruins”, one of his masterpieces to be found at the musée Jacquemart-André in Paris. Hubert Robert, pintor conhecido dos seus contemporâneos e para a posteridade como “Robert das ruínas”, não se confunde com a natureza algo mórbida do seu cognome. Profundamente marcado pela beleza dos vestígios romanos que contemplara, desenhara e pintara durante dez anos na sua juventude, este artista, amigo das Luzes, descobre no tema das ruínas que percorre toda a sua obra um sentido que não se esgota na habitual meditação sobre o tempo e a vaidade dos impérios. Para ele, as ruínas são convite à “construção” na acepção maçónica do termo, a obra-prima conservada no museu Jacquemart-André em Paris e intitulada “ Galerie en ruines” sendo a secreta e vivificante representação deste sentido.
