Jean Robie (1821-1910)
The Belgium artist specialized in still life pictures featuring flowers and fruits. His travels in, and the Middle East later inspired him to paint seascapes, landscapes and Oriental Scenes. He was born in Brussels, the son of a smith, and was initially self-taught. With the encouragement of his friend the artist Théodore Fourmois he later began studying at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels with Balthazar-François Tasson (later Tasson-Snel) and exhibited at the Brussels Salon from 1843 to 1875, as well as at the Paris Salon and elsewhere. He also wrote many travel books based on his extensive travels as far as India. His works hang in museums in Brussels, Gent, Boston, Brooklyn, Hamburg, Lille, Minneapolis, Sydney, and Uffizi in Florence.
