Antoine learned to love and to draw imposing boats from all over the world by spending time at his father Joseph Roux’s (1725-1789) nautical store in the Marseilles harbour. From there he quickly developed a profitable profession and made a supra-regional name for himself as a marine painter. Later, his depictions of epic naval battles were especially famous, and Antoine always found eager patrons despite all the political chaos. His three sons continued this family tradition.
