Jean Roque was born on 8 January 1880 in Marseille, Bouches-du-Rhône, France.[1][2] He studied painting in Paris under the tutelage of Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824–1904) and Humbert.[2]
He became a professional painter.[3] Early on in his career, he rejected the realism of Jean-Léon Gérôme, his teacher, and decided to focus on painting landscapes, especially the ones of Provence.[1]
Most of his paintings were done from 1906 to 1924. In 1924, he became Peintre de la Marine.
Théophile Steinlen (1859–1923) painted his portrait in 1915.
He died on 6 December 1925 in Paris.[1] He was buried in the Cimetière Saint-Pierre in Marseille.
