Desir-raoul RochetteDesir-Raoul Rochette (March 6, 1790 - July 3, 1854), was a French archaeologist. He was born at St Amand in the department of Cher, and received his education at Bourges. He was made professor of history at the Collge de Louis-le-Grand in Paris (1813) and in the Sorbonne (1817). His first major work was Histoire critique de l'tablissement des colonies grecques (4 vols., 1815). He was superintendent of antiquities in the Bibliothque at Paris (1819-48), and professor of archaeology at the Bibliothque (from 1826), a result of which may be seen in his Cours d'archologie (1828). In 1829 he published his Monuments indits, a work of great value at the time. His Peintures indites (1836) and Peintures de Pompi (1844), remained valuable documents for many years. He contributed to the Annali of the Roman Institute, the Journal des savants and the Acadmie des inscriptions. At his death, Raoul Rochette was perpetual secretary of the Academy of Fine Arts and a corresponding member of most of the learned societies in Europe.
