Jules Robert Auguste
Jules Robert Auguste (1789 – 15 April 1850) was a French painter associated with Romanticism and classicism.[1][2] Initially a sculptor, he won accolades, including the 1810 Prix de Rome.[3]
He was also well known as a traveller, and his tales – and souvenirs – from places such as Greece, Syria, Turkey, Albania, Egypt, and various regions of the Middle East provided fuel for French Orientalism.[3] He also painted detailed depictions of Arab and black people.[4] Auguste was the only French Romantic artist to visit the Near East while Louis XVIII was in power.[4]
