François Roffiaen (1820-1898), Alpine Landscape Oil On Panel
François Roffiaen (1820-1898)
Alpine Landscape
Oil on panel 30x43 cm
signed
On several occasions a critic like Gustave Lagye (1843–1908) attempted to emphasise the qualities of his art, both in its extreme delicacy and finesse and in its almost photographic detail. "Although opposed to M. Roffiaen for his manner of painting, dry and thin, I am obliged to admire him for the prodigious ability and above all for the exquisite art with which he holds grandiose panoramas in the narrowest of frames, where he chisels the smallest bump with the scruples of a miniaturist.
