1840-1920 French painter. Although he studied engraving at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Lyon, he very early devoted himself exclusively to painting. In 1864 he settled in Paris, where his lyrical, zestful canvases, for example a Jester at the Court of Henry III , quickly met with success. They chiefly show characters in medieval or Renaissance costume in attitudes of studied ease. Critics noted his strong colours and firm brushwork, regretting only that his shadows seemed too sooty.  Related Paintings of Ferdinand Roybet :. | Vesuvius erupting at Night | St. Nicholas extension of the seats | Morning | Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy shoeless. | Six-Scene Panel |
