Peter Rolfe

Peter Rolfe (Born 1942) is active/lives in Maine, Massachusetts / Europe.  Peter Rolfe is known for Impressionist and realist landscape with figures, still life, seascape and streetscenes.

Peter Rolfe was born in Maine in 1942. He holds two Bachelor’s degrees from the University of Illinois and a Master’s degree from the University of Pittsburgh. He began painting full-time in 1971 and at the urging of Laurence Sisson, began with a painting trip along the New England coast.

Largely self-taught, Rolfe is most inspired by Sargent, Schmid, Fechin, Monet, Sisson, Thieme and Homer. His unique style, however, captures the elusive effects of the moment that give his paintings the sparkle that are their hallmark.

Three of his more publicized works include Winter Night, which was exhibited by the National Academy of Design, Dusk on the Charles, which was acquired by Genzyme Corporation and hangs in their front lobby and Patriot’s Day – Heading Toward Kenmore, the well-known depiction of the Boston Marathon, which was commissioned by the Boston Athletic Association.
