| Biography: |
|
Born in 1756, Robert Lef¨¦vre began his career as a self-taught painter, and only in 1784 entered the studio of Jean-Baptiste Regnault in Paris. After several years of allegoric and mythology subjects he switched to portraiture, where he had success. He participated in Salons 1791-1827. Thanks to the sponsorship of Dominique-Vivant Denon, who was appointed the Director General of Museums in 1802, Robert Lef¨¦vre obtained numerous commissions from Napoleon. His career went on with Louis XVIII, to whom he became the court painter. He died in Paris in 1830.
