This collection of Belleroche’s work, which comprises more than three hundred paintings, drawings and lithographs, is the largest of its kind, whether in public or private hands. As a group, these works offer a striking record of the breadth and quality of Belleroche’s art and an insight into his working technique, which at times was remarkably innovative. The collection includes an unrivalled number of monotypes and single edition prints. It is also unique in reuniting the preparatory graphic work with the paintings. Although Belleroche is primarily known as a print maker, for the first two decades of his professional life (1880-1900) he was a painter. After 1900 he worked as a lithographer, first and foremost, but painting and graphic art co-existed and understanding the relationship between the two is important for appreciating his extraordinary talent.
