This painting and its pendant (35.40.1) were commissioned by François Bergeret de Frouville, a financier whose older brother was a major patron and collector of contemporary art at the end of the ancien régime. Salon critics improbably thought the structure was a palace outside Florence, evidence of how freely fragments of antique architecture were interpreted in the period. Robert playfully signed the work as executed in \"PARISIORUM,\" in reference to the ancient Roman city that became Paris.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search\/437468\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York - The Portico of a Country Mansion\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hubert Robert","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":49887743410419,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (80 3\/4\" x 48 1\/4\")","offer_id":49887743443187,"sku":null,"price":5649.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (23 1\/8\" x 13 7\/8\")","offer_id":49887743475955,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (28 3\/8\" x 17\")","offer_id":49887743508723,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (34 3\/4\" x 20 7\/8\")","offer_id":49887743541491,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (44 7\/8\" x 26 7\/8\")","offer_id":49887743574259,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (53 3\/4\" x 32 1\/4\")","offer_id":49887743607027,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (63 3\/8\" x 38\")","offer_id":49887743639795,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (76\" x 45 5\/8\")","offer_id":49887743672563,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/ThePorticoofaCountryMansion.jpg?v=1785982679","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/the-portico-of-a-country-mansion","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
