French, 1733–1808
Hubert Robert (1733–1808) was a French painter associated with the Romanticism movement. Born in Paris, he studied with the Jesuits before training in design and perspective, later turning to painting. He spent eleven years in Rome, where he became known for his landscape paintings and imaginative scenes of ruins, drawing inspiration from both ancient and contemporary settings. After returning to Paris in 1765, he exhibited regularly and held several official positions related to the arts.
