Augustin Raymond Aubert, who was born at Marseilles in 1781, studied at first under Guenin, and subsequently with Peyron, in Paris, to which city he went in 1802. He soon, however, returned to his native town, and in 1810 was made Director, of the School of Design, 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. Some of his chief pictures, taken from sacred history, are of large dimensions. He died on his estate, near Marseilles, in 1847.
