Born: 1863, Gallowgate, Glasgow, United Kingdom.
Roche was the son of Alexander Roche, a milliner. He attended St Mungo's Academy in Bridgeton, Glasgow.
Initially pursuing architecture, he transitioned to art, studying at the Glasgow School of Art.
From 1881, he furthered his artistic education at l’École des Beaux-Arts in Paris under Gustave Boulanger and Jean-Léon Gérôme.
In Paris, Roche befriended fellow Scottish artists including William Kennedy, John Lavery, Thomas Millie Dow, and William Stott.
He joined a colony of Scots artists in Grez-sur-Loing, south of Fontainebleau, in the early 1880s – a significant hub for plein air painting and artistic experimentation.
This period was crucial in shaping his impressionistic tendencies and landscape style.
Upon returning to Scotland in 1885, Roche became involved with the Glasgow Boys, a group of artists who sought to create a distinctly Scottish artistic identity.
He contributed to murals for the 1888 International Exhibition in Glasgow.
A trip to Capri in 1888 led to friendships with Fabio Fabbi and Harold Speed.
Subsequent travels through Venice and Florence culminated in a brief marriage to an Italian woman, which later ended in separation.
In 1896, Roche moved from Glasgow to Edinburgh, marking a turning point in his career.
He began to distance himself from the Glasgow Boys and shifted his artistic focus towards portraiture, alongside continuing landscape work.
His style evolved during this period, demonstrating a growing maturity and refinement.
Roche remarried in 1906 to Jean Alexander, daughter of Robert Alexander. Their social circle included Joseph Crawhall.
From 1907 to 1914, they resided at 8 Royal Terrace on Calton Hill, a prestigious address.
Around 1910, a cerebral haemorrhage resulted in the loss of use of his right hand. Demonstrating remarkable resilience, he retrained himself to paint with his left hand.
Death: Roche died in 1921 at Hailes Cottage near the Water of Leith in Slateford, Edinburgh and is buried in Dean Cemetery.
Roche exhibited regularly at the Royal Scottish Academy from 1887 and the Royal Academy from 1890-1919.
He is remembered as a significant figure in late 19th and early 20th century Scottish art, bridging the gap between the Glasgow Boys’ initial rebellion and more individualistic artistic expression.
His work reflects both his Parisian training and his deep connection to the Scottish landscape and people.
