Hubert Robert, nicknamed "Robert of the Ruins," was known for his depictions of classical architecture, some of them on a grand scale. Here, he uses such an elaborate architectural setting as a frame for the Great Fire of Rome (64 AD/CE). People flee in panic while Rome burns in the background, its flames set against the night sky in a way that showcases Robert's skill in chiaroscuro.
