A unique collection of painting discovered 🎨
A spectacular hoard of paintings by the legendary Lincolnshire grocer-artist, Herbert Rollett, will be auctioned next week after being discovered during a flat clearance in Essex.
Rollett's artistic breakthrough came in 1921 with an exhibition at the Victoria Galleries in Hull. His work was showcased in various shows in Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool, Nottingham, the Royal Scottish Academy, and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters.In 1924, Rollett's first painting was accepted by the Paris Salon, and a Lincolnshire landscape became the first of his paintings to be accepted by the Royal Academy.
“They had no idea the Saffron Walden flat was packed with art - and they knew nothing about Herbert Rollett. Fortunately, they took the time to do an online search and they began to realise what they had on their hands. A portrait of Rollett's daughter Kathleen painted by Vincent Galloway, the first curator of Hull's Ferens Art Gallery.
