Jules René HERVE, born in Langres (Haute-Marne) in 1887, died in Langres in 1981 A painter of typical scenes, figures, portraits, and landscapes, Jules René Hervé—a student of Fernand Cormon and Jules Adler—moved to Paris and began exhibiting at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1910. There, he received a silver medal in 1914 and a gold medal in 1925. Jules René Hervé then divided his time between Paris and his hometown, where he painted—with a light, expert brushstroke, using small, vivid splashes against skillfully arranged grays and ochres—the humble and picturesque events, as well as portraits of his austere society with its monotonous and subdued existence - But Jules René Hervé was equally adept at capturing the lively atmosphere of Parisian life and its monuments, or the dancers in the Opera’s foyer - Delicate sentiments emanate from his finely observed compositions - Appreciated by art lovers in France and abroad, Jules René Hervé devoted himself to his art throughout his life - Jules René Hervé is considered “the last of the Impressionists”
