Hubert Robert, Young Girls Dancing around an Obelisk, 1798 by Sydney Pine

Yeah, I'm a huge fan of the historical context and the social and political things happening, because I find that really informs the work. My works were all very similar, I thought, in terms of themes. So they were all landscape paintings with female figures in them. And so once I had it narrowed down to that, it was really interesting to see how the differences affected them and what I could get out of that. And looking at other works that they were doing around these specific ones kind of created this really interesting environment for me to analyze the works in.
