Alfred Roloff

Alfred Gustav Christian Roloff (19 March 1879, Lassan - 7 December 1951, Rade bei Rendsburg) was a German artist and illustrator; best known for his dime novel covers and paintings of horses.

They were a very prolific organization, flooding the European market with light entertainment and quickly produced works of fiction, known as "dime novels".

He was also an animal painter, primarily of horses, in dynamic scenes, featuring them in motion; often running from some danger.

During the Nazi dictatorship, he was a member of the Reichskammer der bildenden Künste [de] (Chamber of Fine Arts) and was able to continue working.

For many years, his painting Flüchtende Pferde (Fleeing Horses), hung in Hitler's office at the Neue Reichskanzlei [de].
