David roberts was born in Scotland on 1796. His father, a shoemaker, recognizied the artistic inclination of his son and apprenticed him to a housepainter - perhaps for lack of anything more suitable at the time. Later David moved on to graphic art and to Theatre. David Roberts travelled widely in Europe and also in the Middle East, where he drew and sketched extensively. His best known works are those drawn in Spain, Syria and in the Holy Land. David Roberts was maid a member of the Royal Academy on 1841. He died on 1864.
