Henri-Joseph Harpignies was born at Valenciennes 28 July 1819. Originally a traveling salesman, Harpignies love of painting made him change direction and devote his life to being an artist.Aged 27, Harpignies took the decision to take painting lessons and this he did under the tutelage of the excellent painter of landscapes, Achard. During the next few years he devoted himself to the painting of children in landscape setting, and fell in with Corot and the other Barbizon masters, whose principles and methods are to a certain extent reflected in his own personal art. To Corothe was united by a bond of warm friendship, and the two artists went together to Italy in 1860. However Harpignies was soon to make his own particular style evident in his paintings with a force of expression characterizing this. Harpignies continued to exhibit at the Paris Salon frequently but in 1863 his painting, Canards Sauvage, was refused by the admission jury and Harpignies was so incensed that he destroyed the painting and left for Italy immediately. From 1863 to 1865 Harpignies stayed in Italy, sending back a number of paintings.Harpignies returned to Paris and gained sweet revenge by being awarded medals of excellence for his works at the Salons of 1866, 1868,1869,1878, 1897 and finally the grand prix in 1900..In 1875, Harpignies was awarded the Cross of a Chevalier of the Legion d'Honneur, in 1883 a Cross d'officier and finally the Cross de Commandeur in 1901.Harpignies was also a fine watercolorist and in fact, exhibited at the New Watercolor Society in London as well as in France.Essentially a painter of landscapes, Harpignies painted throughout France and also in Italy preferring to travel and paint rather than allying himself to a particular region. He painted forests, towns, rivers, estuaries and wooded glades.
