Jean Jacques Henner Biography | Oil Painting Reproductions

Jean-Jacques Henner began his studies in art as a pupil of Michel-Martin Drolling and François-Édouard Picot. In 1848, he entered the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and took the Prix de Rome with a painting of Adam and Eve Finding the Body of Abel in 1858. With the scholarship from the Ecole he went to Rome, where he was a student of Jean Hippolyte Flandrin, and painted four pictures for the gallery at Colmar among other works.

Jean-Jacques Henner then began his career at the Paris Salon with success, combining orders of portraits and purchases by the State. He first exhibited Bather Asleep at the Salon in 1863. At the Salon of 1865, Henner was awarded a medal with his last consignment of paintings he had done in Rome, The Chaste Susannah. Afterward, the art of Jean-Jacques Henner becomes emblematic by his representations fixation of red-haired women, naked, against scarcely painted landscapes like Les Naïades, L'Eglogue Esquisse 'or even his sleeping Nymph.

He was made Chevali

Thérèse Schwartze – self portrait (1917)

Therese Schwartze was a Dutch 20th century painter.  Such was a hugely talented portrait artist that was one of only a few females who had been honoured by receiving an invitation to contribute her self-portrait to the hall of painters at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.  This genius of portraiture completed around a thousand works during her forty-year career, which means that she completed more than twenty paintings a year. Because many of her portraits were created to be treasured by family members, most of her work has remained in private collections.  About one hundred and fifteen of her paintings are in public collections in the Netherlands, and twelve are part of foreign public collections, which leaves the locations of nearly four hundred paintings still unknown. She became a millionaire in the process. Schwartze also established an international reputation, with countless exhibitions and commissions throughout Europe and the United States.
