A major painter of the Third Republic
Work, campaign and society forcefully represented
A student of Gérôme, Bonnat and Harpignies, Alfred Roll moved away from academicism for a robust naturalism, sometimes clarified by impressionism. Painter of rural figures, workers, portraits and large republican decorations, he gives a monumental presence to contemporary life. The "Alfred Roll" selection notably compares Manda Lamétrie, farmer. His reading favors details.
At Roll, the farmer, the worker or the nanny possess the same pictorial dignity as the figures of official history.
