Jules Robert Auguste
Illustration — Nubian Woman, 1825/30 Jules Robert Auguste (1789 – 15 April 1850) was a French painter associated with Romanticism and classicism. Initially a sculptor, he won accolades, including the 1810 Prix de Rome. 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.
