François-Geoffroy Roux
ARTISTA family pillar of French marine painting, the Roux family gave birth to six distinguished masters of marine portraiture. A highly productive unit, they worked mainly in watercolor and left an impressive legacy of over 7000 paintings spread throughout the 19th century. Their works powerfully illustrate France's maritime history and heritage. Francois Geoffroi Roux, the youngest scion of the Roux family, set himself apart from his siblings with his ambitious and detailed artwork. He created art that broke the boundaries of the medium while maintaining the freshness of color and energy of execution that characterized his work. His brush technique was not only unique but revolutionary, giving his paintings a vibrant quality that is visible in every art print.
