Robert Gardelle
, now in the Jegenstorf Castle
Robert Gardelle (1682-1766) was a Swiss artist,[1] born in Geneva, then in the Republic of Geneva. Gardelle studied under Largillière in Paris, where he distinguished himself as a portrait painter, producing also etchings of portraits and of views of Geneva.[2] Gardelle is known for both the quantity of portraits he produced and the speed with which he produced them; Cambridge University Library noted during a 1978 exhibition that Gardelle was prolific and "often painted portraits in two or three days."[3]
