LONGÉ, ROBERT DE, born at Brussels about 1635 (?), died at Piacenza in 1707 (1709?). Flemish school; history and landscape painter, pupil of Jacques de Potter in 1658; went to Italy and studied at Cremona under Agostino Bonisoli, probably visited Venice, Rome, Florence, and Bologna, and finally settled at Piacenza. By Italian writers he is quoted as Roberto La Longe or Uberto Da Longe, and surnamed Il Fiammingo, the frequent application of which surname to Flemish painters make it all but certain that many of his works, painted during his long residence in Italy, are attributed to other masters. He painted in a variety of styles, at times imitating Guido Reni, at others approaching Guercino, without ever abandoning the Flemish style.

Bolognese school; history painter; bred under a mixed Umbrian and Venetian influence; probably pupil of Nicolò Rondinelli; inclined to the old manner of Francia's school, but instead of the deep feeling of that master we find only an expression of affected devotion.
