Léon Augustin Lhermitte
L'hermitte often travelled to Britanny, as he was fascinated by the rural life there. His
work was shown in Paris but he also had a dealer who brought his pieces to the US, Canada, and Britain. Moreover, his work also spread through commissions in illustrated magazines. Vincent Van Gogh wrote "If every month Le Monde Illustré published one of his compositions...it would be a great pleasure for me to be able to follow it. It is certain that for years I have not seen anything as beautiful as this scene by L'hermitte...I am too preoccupied by L'hermitte this evening to be able to talk of other things." Originally from north-eastern France, Léon Augustin L'hermitte moved to Paris in time to attend the Salon des Refuses in 1863, and while studying at the École des Beaux Arts he gained recognition after his show in the Paris Salon in 1874. His many awards include the French Legion of Honour (1884) and the Grand Prize at the Exposition Universelle in 1889.
