featuring Galerie en ruines by Hubert Robert
So my postcard is the artwork, um, Gallery in Ruins by Hubert Robert. I'm not sure-
it's not coming out so well, huh? Ah, there we go. Um, so he was born in 1733 and he died in 1808,
I'm guessing is what that means. Um, anyway, he was a French painter in the school of romanticism
and I really like this one because it kind of has almost a post-apocalyptic feel to it.
Um, uh, he is very famous for this style of painting and I actually can't find this one
online. Uh, every time I search for it, it comes up with the Grand Gallery in Ruins,
which is not this one. So, yeah. Um, I believe this one is probably in France,
given that it is in a French, uh, French gallery from a French gallery, French Art Institute.
So this is probably set in Paris, or not Paris, sorry, France. You always think,
oh, Paris, France, um. Anyway, the artist was born in France, uh, Paris.
The artist comes from Paris, France, um, which is- this is a beautiful painting, actually. I
really like the- I really like the plants and the animals are interesting. It's like
a shelter, it's like a post-apocalyptic shelter. Um, I don't know, I think my parents would like
this, but also, like, they don't really- my mom- my mom liked Italy, and Italy and France are kind
of the same. I say kind of the same, I mean, as in, they have very similar architectural styles.
And they speak different languages, but eh. But they're both, like, from Latin,
and I have been rambling for entirely too long. Um, I might just keep this. Like,
I know the assignment was to send it off, but I really, really, really like this one.
I don't know, it speaks to my soul. Uh, yeah, so, have a good day!
