Émile Renouf (June 23, 1845 - May 4, 1894) was a French painter and draftsman of the school of Realism and Impressionism. A pupil of Gustave Boulanger, Jules Lefebvre and Charles Duran at the Académie Julian, he exhibited for the first time at the Salon de peinture et de sculpture in Paris between 1877 and 1881 and received a gold medal at the Paris Universal Exhibition in 1889. He painted maritime and peasant motifs, especially after his trip to the island of Sein. Due to the state of his Parisian studio, he built a new studio in Le Havre, where he died. His works are kept in museums in France, in Amiens, Le Havre, Rouen, Liège and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
