1883年,乔治·罗彻格罗斯赢得了沙龙奖,这使他能够访问意大利。随后,他前往比利时、荷兰和德国。1890年前后,他娶了他的挚爱玛丽·莱布隆德,她成为他画作中女主角的模特,长达30年之久。从1900年开始,罗彻格罗斯和玛丽在阿尔及尔湾(Bay of Algiers)上方的山丘上的El-Biar度过了冬季,罗彻格罗斯经常在那里为他的作品寻找东方背景。1920年,玛丽去世,罗彻格罗斯到法国通神学会寻求安慰。1937年,也就是他去世的前一年,他娶了安托瓦内特·阿尔诺。他死于El-Biar,但他被埋葬在巴黎的蒙帕纳斯公墓。
In 1883 Georges Rochegrosse won the Prix du Salon, which enabled him to visit Italy. He subsequently travelled to Belgium, Holland and Germany. Around 1890 he married his great love Marie Leblond, who became the model for the heroines in his paintings for about 30 years. From 1900, Rochegrosse and Marie spent the winter months in El-Biar, in the hills above the Bay of Algiers, where the painter often found the Oriental backgrounds for his compositions. In 1920 Marie died and Rochegrosse sought solace at the Société Théosophique de France (French Theosophical Society). In 1937, a year before he died, he married Antoinette Arnau. He died in El-Biar, but he was buried in Montparnasse Cemetery in Paris.
