Jules René HERVE
Born in Langres ( Haute-Marne ) in 1887
Died in Langres in 1981
Painter of typical scenes, figures, portraits, landscapes.
A student of Fernand Cormon and Jules Adler, Jules René Hervé moved to Paris and began to exhibit at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1910. Jules René Hervé received a silver medal in 1914 and a gold medal in 1925.
Then Jules René Hervé shared his life between Paris and his native city, of which he painted, with a light brush, expert in small lively flashes of gray or ochre skilfully distributed, the humble and picturesque events, the portraits of its austere society with a monotonous and muffled existence - But Jules René Hervé knew just as well how to restore the lively atmosphere of Parisian life and its monuments or the dancers in the foyer of the Opera House -
From his finely observed compositions emanate delicate feelings - Appreciated by French and foreign amateurs, Jules René Hervé devoted himself to his art throughout his life -
Jules René Hervé is considered as "the last of the impressionists".
