ATELIER DI LOUIS LEOPOLD ROBERT
(La Chaux-de-Fonds, 13 maggio 1794 – Venezia, 20 marzo 1835)
Le retour de la fête de la Madone de l'Arc, près de Naples, oil on canvas 140 x 100 cm.
Léopold Robert was born into a family of Francophone Protestant artisans and had a happy childhood, alongside his father the watchmaker. Despite being born near Neuchâtel - and therefore having French nationality, since the Principality was a domain of France - he studied in the Jura, in Porrentruy, and became an apprentice at Yverdon-les-Bains in Vaud. But in 1810 he moved to Paris, where he followed an early teaching of the art of engraving at the workshop of Charles Samuel Girardet.
In 1812 he was admitted to the atelier of Jacques-Louis David, where he began to paint and draw engravings. Two years later he took second place in the Prix de Rome for the recording. In the meantime, however, with the fall of the Empire, the Principality of Neuchâtel had been taken from France and reassigned to Prussia, causing Robert to lose his French nationality and thus the chance to compete in the Prix de Rome. He then returned to La Chaux-de-fonds, abandoned the burin and devoted himself entirely to painting with some success. He painted numerous portraits that made him famous among the bourgeoisie of Neuchâtel.
But Robert soon got into debt and fell into a state of Abulia. Fortunately he met François Roulet de Mézerac who helped him and allowed him to continue painting by sending him to Rome, where he stayed for 13 years, until 1831.
He painted scenes of Italian characters in costume (often gangsters), which earned him admiration and an elite clientele. He was thus able to pay his debts and accept numerous assignments.
In 1825 he went to Naples and several other places in Italy. Attracted by the monumental paintings, he imagined the representation of the four seasons in four large cities, divided into four canvases. " The return from the pilgrimage to Our Lady of the Arch" is the first of these works and represents Spring and Naples. The painting was a huge success at the Salon of 1827 and was purchased by King Louis Philippe I.
In 1829 he returned to Rome, where he met Prince Louis Bonaparte and his wife Charlotte. She fell madly in love with Léopold.
In 1831 he triumphed at the Paris Salon. The canvas "The arrival of the reapers in the Pontine marshes" won him the cross of the Légion d'honneur which was given to him by the king of France himself. In the same year Luigi Bonaparte died in Italy, fighting in the ranks of the Carboneria. Charlotte, a widow, devoted herself to art and took lessons in engraving and lithography from Léopold Robert, who still dared to hope for her attention. He then returned to Italy, but, following the riots of 1832 in the Papal States, he decided to leave Rome, stopping briefly in Florence where he saw Charlotte again. Following this meeting, however, his love hopes collapsed and Robert fled to Venice.He then began his last monumental composition, that of the winter season, with the painting entitled: "The departure of the fishermen of the Adriatic". The work is very intense, so much so as to inspire even men like Victor Hugo and Lamartine, but, as soon as the work finished, Robert fell into a deep depression that, at only forty years, drove him to commit suicide by cutting his throat. He was buried in Venice, in the cemetery of San Michele Island.
The painting of the highest quality proposed here remains of museum beauty. The work is a variant of Robert's work preserved in the Louvre created by an important artist from his atelier. The Royal Trust Collection also owns a work of the pilgrimage of the Madonna dell'Arco by an artist from Robert's atelier and the Louvre too.
