Augustin Aubert

He studied at first under Joachim Guenin, and subsequently with Pierre Peyron, in Paris, where he had moved in 1802.

In 1810, he was made Director of the School of Design in Marseille, and in that capacity directed the studies of numerous pupils who afterwards became celebrated.

He painted history, landscape, and portrait subjects with much success.

The museum and churches of his native town possess several good examples of his art.
