The Barbican Mural adjacent to Robert's studio was completed in July 1972. Its 3000 sq ft area "concerns itself with metaphysical ideas current in England during the period 1580-1620". The painter's notes continue "These ideas cover the following activities: Philosophy; Alchemy; Cabala; Ceremonial Magic; the symbolic aspects of poetry, music and art; the cult of melancholy, chivalry, and similar allegorical trends."
