DESCRIPTION:
|
Lerolle, painter, engraver, musician and collector, was born and lived in Paris throughout his life. He mixed with intellectual life easily, studying at the Atelier Lamothe (who taught both Degas and Henri Regnault) and copying in the Louvre. There he met Forain, Besnard and Alfred Lenoir with whom he worked at the Academy Suisse.
Lerolle first exhibited in the Salon in 1868, and continued to do so regularly thereafter. His work showed a clarity and sensitivity with a predilection for Sienna and white. Influenced by Puvis de Chavannes and Carrière, he also understood the importance of impressionism and took their lessons on board. Works such as At the Water’s Edge, Boston Museum of Fine Arts, clearly show the influence of Manet.
Respected as a painter, he also collected works by, amongst others, Corot, Fantin-Latour, Degas, Renoir, who painted his daughters, and Fantin-Latour, whose influence can be seen in this painting. He was one of the first to realise the talents of Bonnard and Vuillard at the Salon and also bought work by Gauguin.
Lerolle was a founder of the Societé Nationale des Beaux Arts in 1890.
His work can be seen in a number of galleries across the world including the new galleries for European painting at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
