Inspiration (II): David Roberts

 

In this second delivery I’ll talk about David Roberts, a romantic scotish painter of nineteenth century.

David Roberts (1796-1864) was born in Edinburgh in a modest family (his father was a shoemaker and when he was ten years old apprenticed him). In 1815 got a job as a house painter and as a decorator the following year, it allowed him to work in theaters as Pantheon Theatre in Edinburgh (1816), Royal Theatre in Glasgow (1819) or Coburhg Theatre (1822).

It’s from this point he begins focusing in oil painting and creates works that portray several english and scottish landscapes and other places in Europe (among others Amiens, Dieppe, Brussels and Seville).

Those who enjoy role-playing games (whether playing, refereeing, creating or three things at once) often need to feed our imagination in different ways either by the habit of reading, viewing films and television series or contemplating the work of artists and designers.
