Manuel Robbe

He then became a pupil at the Académie Julian, where he came into contact with many famous personalities, before transferring to the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.

He exhibited regularly at the salons of the Société des artistes français; the Parisian dealers Edmond Sagot, Georges Petit and Pierrefort published and distributed his etchings.

In 1895, his poster for the paraffin lamp L'Éclatante appeared in the magazine Les Maîtres de l'affiche (1895-1900), edited by Jules Chéret.

Between 1905 and 1907, the Galerie Georges Petit exhibited his works as part of the annual Salon of the Société de la gravure originale en couleurs.

During the 1914-1918 war, he enlisted in the air force as an aviator, which is why there are only a few works from this period, but several prints depicting German and French military aircraft.
