Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BRI-BUN
BROUGH, ROBERT (1872-1905) , British painter, was born at Invergordon, Ross-shire. He was educated at Aberdeen, and, whilst apprenticed for over six years as lithographer to Messrs Gibb & Co., attended the night classes at the local art school. He then entered the Royal Scottish
Academy
 , and in the first year took the Stuart prize for figure
painting
 , the Chalmers
painting
  bursary, and the Maclaine-Walters
medal
  for corn-position. After two years in Paris under J. P. Laurens and-Benjamin-
Constant
  at
Julian
 's atelier, he settled in Aberdeen in 1894 as a portrait painter. and political cartoonist. A portrait of Mr W. D. Ross first drew attention to his talent in 1896, and in the following year he scored a marked success at the Royal
Academy
  with his " Fantaisie en Folie," now at the National Gallery of British Art (Tate Gallery). Two of his paintings, " 'Twixt Sun and Moon " and " Childhood of St
Anne
  of Brittany," are at the Venice municipal gallery. Brough's art is influenced by Raeburn and by
modern
  French training, but it strikes a very personal
note
 . Robert $rough met his death from injuries received in a railway disaster in 1905, his early death being a notable loss to British art.
