, See also:French painter, was See also:born at Chaux de Fonds (See also:Neuchatel) in See also:Switzerland on the 13th of May 1794, but See also:left his native See also:place with the engraver Girardet at the See also:age of sixteen for See also:Paris
.
He was on the See also:eve of obtaining the See also:grand prix for See also:engraving when the events of 1815 blasted his hopes, for Neuchatel was restored to See also:Prussia, and See also:Robert was struck off the See also:list of competitors as a foreigner
.
Whilst continuing his studies under Girardet he had never ceased to frequent the studio of See also:David, and he now determined to become a painter, and only returned to his native See also:country when his See also:master himself was exiled
.
At Neuchatel he attracted the See also:notice of Roullet de Mezerac, who enabled him by a timely See also:loan to proceed to See also:Rome
.
In depicting the customs and See also:life of the See also:people, of See also:southern See also:Italy especially, he showed See also:peculiar feeling for the See also:historical characteristics of their See also:race
.
After executing many detached studies of See also:Italian life Robert conceived the See also:idea of See also:painting four See also:great See also:works which' should represent at one and the same See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)
- TIME, MEASUREMENT OF
- TIME, STANDARD
time the four seasons in Italy and the four leading races of its people
.
In the " Return from the Fete of the Madonna dell' Arco " (Louvre) he depicted the Neapolitans and the See also:spring
.
This picture, exhibited at the See also:Salon of 1827, achieved undoubted success and was bought for the Luxembourg by See also:Charles X.; but the See also:work which appeared in 1831—the" Summer Reapers arriving in the Pontine Marshes " (Louvre), which became the See also:property of See also:- LOUIS

Louis Philippe—established the artist's reputation
.
See also:Florence and her autumn vineyards should now have furnished him with his third subject
.
He attempted to begin it, but, unable to conquer his See also:passion for Princess See also:Charlotte See also:Napoleon (then See also:mourning the violent See also:death of her See also:husband, Robert's devoted friend), he threw up his work and went to See also:Venice, where he began and carried through the See also:fourth of the See also:series, the " Fishers of the Adriatic." This work was not equal to the " Reapers." Worn by the vicissitudes of painful feeling, and bitterly discouraged, Robert committed See also:suicide before his easel on the loth of See also:March 1835, on the tenth anniversary of the See also:melancholy suicide of a See also:brother to whom he had been much attached
