ART: Louis Léopold Robert - \"The Return of the Pilgrims\" - Louvre - Paris FRANCE: Louis Léopold Robert (13 May 1794 – 20 March 1835) was a Swiss painter. He was born at La Chaux-de-Fonds (Neuchâtel) in Switzerland, but left his native place with the engraver Jean Girardet at the age of sixteen for Paris. He was a neoclassical painter and studied under Jacques-Louis David. Robert committed suicide before his easel on 20 March 1835, on the tenth anniversary of the melancholy suicide of a brother to whom he had been much attached.
