Jules René Hervé (French, 1887-1981) was an Academic painter, born in Langres. Known for his paintings of cityscapes and landscapes, Hervé painted in an impressionistic style that captured the shimmering texture of the city and the softer light of the countryside. Hervé was trained at the Ecole nationale supérieure d'arts decoratifs of Paris, and studied with Fernand Cormon (French 1845-1924) and Jules Adler (French, 1865-1952). As early as 1910, his work was shown in Paris Salons where his paintings were described as "jewels" of French scenery. Hervé was awarded multiple honors during his lifetime, including a golden medal at the Universal Exhibition 1937. His work is included in collections of the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Dijon, and the Chicago Art Institution the Musée de la Ville de Paris.
