Albert Polge (born 29 November 1909) was a former footballer who played as a striker. Born in French Indochina, he was a France international.
Polge was born to a French father and Annamese mother. At the age of 10, his mother passed away, which lead him to move to France, in Gard with his paternal grandparents. He joined the School of Arts and Crafts in Aix-en-Provence. He graduated as an engineer. [1]
Polge spent most of his football career playing for Nîmes based teams: SC Nîmes and Nîmes Olympique. Between 1934 and 1936, Polge played for French French First Division side AS Saint-Étienne.
Polge appeared three times with France national team between 1933 and 1934.
Polge mainly operated as a left-winger and was described as a "very small and very thin player". [2]
Polge and his wife Marcelle, née Battut (1907-1944) were accused of collabaration following the Liberation of Nîmes in 1944. While Polge avoided a death penalty, his wife was found guilty, which resulted in her execution in public. He remarried in 1950 in Avignon and divorced in 1963. Later records about Polge were lost. He died around the 1970s in Vaucluse. [3]

The Roulin Family is a group of portrait paintings Vincent van Gogh executed in Arles in 1888 and 1889 of Joseph, his wife Augustine and their three children: Armand, Camille and Marcelle. This series is unique in many ways. Although Van Gogh loved to paint portraits, it was difficult for financial and other reasons for him to find models. So, finding an entire family that agreed to sit for paintings — in fact, for several sittings each — was a bounty.
