de la Roche

For the best view of Delaroche's great work one must go upstairs to the Gallery.

Here also Delaroche has not risen above respectable mediocrity, and his characteristics remain, as ever, thoroughly middle-class.

Delaroche was not troubled by ideals, and had no affectation of them.

All night Delaroche sat by the bed of his wife, in the big, empty, ruined convent.
