1888
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Saint Patrice is a 1888 by Pierre Roche, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a man in a dark coat standing by a window. The light hits the left side of his face and hand. His expression looks tired but calm. The artist made this with a gypsograph, a tool that scratches metal plates to create prints. It gives the picture a soft, grainy look. That’s unusual for portraits from this time. Try looking up Roche, Pierre next.
Pierre Roche (Paris, 2 August 1855 – Paris, 18 January 1922), pseudonym of Pierre Henry Ferdinand Massignon, was a French sculptor, painter, ceramist and medallist.
