Today’s Painting

今日畫作

This one was painted in 1796, seven years after the French Revolution and three years after the opening of the Louvre as a museum. In this painting, we still recognize the architecture of the Louvre, but the roof has crumbled down.

這幅畫繪製於1796年，即法國大革命發生七年後，盧浮宮作為博物館開放三年後。在這幅畫中，我們仍然可以看到盧浮宮的建築，但是屋頂已經坍塌了。

There still are artists drawing in front of sculptures and people trying to find lost treasures. The French Revolution left destruction behind and people realized their patrimonial inheritance. The painter imagined how the Louvre could stay as a source of inspiration, even in ruins after having been a museum.

現在仍然有藝術家在雕塑前繪畫，人們正試圖尋找失落的寶藏。法國大革命留下了毀滅性的烙印，人們也意識到了他們繼承的財產。畫家的靈感來源於想像盧浮宮會如何保存，即使它在變成博物館之後也成為了廢墟。

When compared to archeological Roman views, this painting demonstrated once again that Roman antiquity was the best model in art. Indeed, Roman architecture and art remained centuries after the Roman Empire.

與羅馬文化考古學家的觀點相比，這幅畫再次證明了羅馬古蹟是藝術中最好的典範。確實，羅馬建築和藝術在羅馬帝國結束後依然保留了幾個世紀。

To highlight this reference, Hubert Robert included the Apollo Belvedere and the Slave of Michelangelo, two masterpieces of antique and classical sculpture. Archeological ruins is a classic pattern inherited of the 17th century.

為了強調這一相關性，休伯特·羅伯特加入了古物和古典雕塑的兩大傑作—《阿波羅·貝爾維德雷》和米開朗基羅的《奴隸》。考古遺址傳承了17世紀經典樣式。

In Europe, a lot of new museums were created after the 18th century and their architectural styles were based on the classical Roman model to institute museums as temples of art and knowledge.

在歐洲，十八世紀以後創建了許多新博物館，其建築風格都是基於古典羅馬模型，目的是將博物館建立為藝術和知識的殿堂。
