Born in Como, Rosales spent his formative training in Paris under the sculptor Ernest Barrias, where his style developed through historical and genre subjects. During the early 20th century the nude became the predominant theme in his work. His figures combine a whimsical spirit, characteristic in exotic nudes of the period, with a personal understanding of movement and balance that reflected his love and knowledge of ballet.
