Born on 28 October 1858 in Detroit, the son of a jeweler, Julius Rolshoven enrolled at the Cooper Union Art School after being rejected by the National Academy of Design in 1876. Two years later, he was at the Düsseldorf Academy under Hugo Crola (1841-1910), a portraitist. Rolshoven transferred to Munich to study under Ludwig von Löfftz, then he became one of the ”Duveneck Boys” and spent a year in Venice and some time in Florence. The Detroit Institute of Arts has his Florenti (showing 500 of 11233 characters). |
