François Alfred Delobbe

François Alfred Delobbe (1835 - 1920) was a French painter in the Naturalist style. He was a student of Thomas Couture and William Bouguereau at the École des Beaux-arts. Mythological, Orientalist and genre scenes in the Academic style were his original specialities. The soft light of the region inspired him to focus on painting children and young women, generally in peasant scenes.
