Jules Robert Auguste (1789 – 15 April 1850) was a French painter associated with Romanticism and classicism.[1][2] Initially a sculptor, he won accolades, including the 1810 Prix de Rome.[3] 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.[3]
