ROBERTS. 139 works in oil, to the Royal Academy exhibitions. He painted altogether about 260 oil pictures ; foi- the first sold he received 50 shillings, for the last 525 pounds. He was elected an associate of the Academy in 1838, while in the Bast, and became a full member in 1841, having earned this dignity by his Spanish pic- tures chiefly. He died in London of apoplexy, on the evening of the 25th of November 1864, in his sixty-ninth year. Though Roberts did not attain to a great age, he yet... lived long enough to see his early pictures sold at auctions, for ten, and even twenty, times the amount of the original price fixed by himself. His pictures are nearly exclusively architectural, but the purely landscape and figure portions of them have generally an admi- rable efl'ect also. They are too numerous to admit of m.ention of even of a selection of them in a notice of this description. Among the most interesting are some of the very last — those illustrating the more conspicuous architectural monuments of this metro- polis.
