NotesJanusz de Rola was a figurative painter of Polish origin born in 1906 in Swow (Poland) and died in 1991 in Toulon that the gallery owner Katia Granoff will qualify as "Chopin of painting". He come from a family of Polish princely nobility - his father was an intimate of Franz Joseph, the Emperor of Austria-Hungary. He studied in Vienna and served as a diplomat until the Second World War. The hazards of war led him to Nice, where he settled after the armistice and there met his wife. He then lived in Vienna, in the Var, in Pignans (at the Domaine de la Cressonniere from 1971 ) and finally in Gonfaron from 1981 until his death in 1991. He trained in painting in the 1940s with the painter Sylvain Vigny. Janusz de Rola remained a figurative artist all his life and acquired a certain notoriety mingling with European high-society "elegants". At the beginning of the 1970s he met the painter Roger Boubenec who became his friend and who said of him: "He was the man of Europe: painter, poet, musician. It is to him that I owe the visual sense of the composition."
