Francois Xavier Pascal Fabre, a French painter, born in Montpellier, April 1, 1766, died March 12, 1837. He was a pupil of David, and produced in 1787 a painting representing the "Execution of the Children of Zedekiah by order of Nebuchadnezzar," for which he received the great prize of the academy, and was sent as a pensionary to Rome. He was believed, though perhaps erroneously, to have been secretly married to the countess of Albany, who on her death in 1824 made him her sole heir, and bequeathed to him valuable MSS. which had been left to her by Alfi-eri. Fabre gave them to the city of Florence.
