BROUGH, ROBERT (1872-1905), British painter, born at Invergordon, Ross-shire, Scotland. 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 "Fantasie 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 in the Venice municipal gallery. Brough's art is influenced by Raeburn and by modern French training.
