Roberts was trained as a house painter specializing in decorative interiors at a time when wealthy patrons often required such craftsmen to create elaborate trompe l’oeil architectural effects based on historical models. Although his exceptional talents quickly led to a successful career in London as a designer and painter of theatrical sets and panoramas, he ultimately found fame painting picturesque architectural sites from continental Europe, Egypt, and the Holy Land.
