David Roberts (1796-1864), the Scottish painter celebrated for his views of Egypt and the Holy Land, travelled through Normandy in the autumn of 1824, and the works born of that journey established his reputation. Saint-Jacques is the oldest church in Dieppe: raised in the 12th century on the pilgrimage route to Compostela, it was rebuilt over the following centuries.
