Born in Boston, he studied at the Massachusetts Normal Art School with notables: Joseph De Camp, Ernest L. Major, and Richard Andrew. He also had a year of study in Europe. Richert maintained a studio in Ellsworth, Maine and during this time he painted scenes of the coast around Blue Hill Bay and Bar Harbor. Many of his landscapes are depictions of Maine.
