"Tree Felling in the Garden of Versailles around the Baths of Apollo, 1775-77" is a notable painting by the French artist Hubert Robert, who was renowned for his landscape and architectural scenes that often included ruins and elements of the picturesque. Created during the period of 1775 to 1777, this work captures a moment of transformation within the famed gardens of the Palace of Versailles, specifically around the Baths of Apollo, a sculptural ensemble designed by Charles Le Brun.

The painting is a testament to Robert's skill in blending classical elements with naturalistic detail, as it depicts laborers in the act of cutting down trees—a scene of both destruction and renewal, suggesting the ongoing maintenance and alteration of the landscape to fit aesthetic and practical needs of the time. The Baths of Apollo served as a focal point for the artist, who used the classical architecture and statuary to anchor the composition, while the surrounding activity and the play of light and shadow create a dynamic and engaging scene.

Hubert Robert, often referred to as "Robert des Ruines" due to his predilection for depicting ruins, was a prominent figure in French art and held the position of "Keeper of the King’s Pictures" as well as a curator at the Louvre. His work on "Tree Felling in the Garden of Versailles around the Baths of Apollo" reflects the broader cultural and aesthetic values of the Enlightenment, where nature was to be shaped and mastered according to the principles of design and order.

This painting is not only significant for its artistic merit but also as a historical document, offering insight into the practices of garden modification and the human impact on the landscape during the 18th century. It remains an important piece within the oeuvre of Hubert Robert and a valuable work for the study of French landscape painting and the history of the Gardens of Versailles.
