About this work
Following his studies at the National Gallery School in Melbourne, Herbert Rose travelled extensively throughout England, Europe, Morocco and Tunis. With a talent for meticulously reproducing natural light and architectural details within his compositions, Rose produced many light-filled scenes of the villages and towns he visited on his travels. Throughout the 1930s, he gained an international reputation as a skilled artist, exhibiting at the Roal Academy in London and the Paris Salon. Tragically, in 1937 while traveling from Paris to India, Rose contracted smallpox and died in less than a week, aged just 46.
