Information about Franz Roubaud

Franz Alekseyevich Roubaud was a Russian painter who created some of the largest and best known panoramic paintings.

Roubaud was born on 15 June 1856 in Odessa and attended an art school there. In 1877 he went to Munich, where he studied at the Munich Academy. He then settled in Saint Petersburg, working in the Imperial Academy of Arts and painting huge panorams of historical battles - Siege of Achulgo (1896, Tiflis, no longer extant), Siege of Sevastopol (1854) (unveiled in 1905, damaged during the Siege of Sevastopol (1942), restored in the 1950s), and Battle of Borodino (1911, moved to Poklonnaya Hill in Moscow in 1962). His works were so large that they had to be exhibited in pavilions specially built for that purpose. In 1913, Roubaud left Russia for Munich, where he died on 13 March 1928.
