Louis Léopold Robert | Romantic genre painter

Louis Léopold Robert (1794-1835) was a Swiss painter.
His work blends Neo-classical rigour with Romantic sentimentality and subject-matter, and he was greatly admired by both contemporary and later critics, such as Charles Clément, Théophile Thoré and Louis Viardot (1880-83), who likened him to Poussin. He exhibited works at the Salons, where among others, Charles X and Louis-Philippe purchased his paintings, and was decorated with the order of the Legion d'Honneur.
