Life

Roux mainly painted plein-air , mostly in the Fontainebleau forest, and was therefore also close to the Barbizon school . From 1870 onwards, thanks to Alexandre Cabanelo, Roux was able to regularly take part in the major annual exhibitions of the Salon de Paris .

Roux was a member of the Société des artistes français .
