H x 7/8 in. total frame sizeWeight, unpacked: 5 lbs., 6 oz.Condition: Excellent Manuel Robbe (1872-1936) went through a traditional education of quality, both in his general studies and as a fine artist. By the time he becomes an active member of the Parisian art scene, he was a talented and well-rounded painter. He quickly finds his stride, first as a painter, then as a lithograph poster designer, but then, around 1895 as a color etcher. By then the technique was well established in Parisian printmaker milieus. Robbe takes its painterly qualities to a whole new level. He learned etching and the use of aquatint from the unavoidable Eugène Delâtre and became a master of coloring à la poupée. Robbe made hundreds of prints, both under his own name, and later in life under the pseudonym of Alphonse Lafitte. His prints before World War I are mostly depicting elegantly dressed women, modern life, cityscapes and landscapes. Signing as Lafitte, he mostly depicted seascapes in Brittany, though not exclusively.
