Biography
Born in Cologne, he was sent by his family to Paris, and after travelling in Italy returned to France and made his first appearance at the Salon in 1824; his reputation, however, was not established until three years later, when he exhibited Tasso at the Convent of Saint Onophrius.[1]
Endowed with a vigorous original talent, and with a vivid imagination, especially for the tragic incidents of history, he soon rose to fame, and in 1850 succeeded François Granet as member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts. In 1855, he was appointed professor and in 1863 director of the École des Beaux-Arts, and in the following year he went to Rome as director of the French Academy in that city.[1]
His pupils included Marie-Adélaïde Baubry-Vaillant, David Bles, Marguerite Jacquelin, Template:Ill, Leon Kapliński and Henri Le Riche.[2] His son, Tony Robert-Fleury, was also a painter.[1]
Honours
1887: Knight in the Order of Leopold.[3]
