Henri Harpignies' parents, Henri and Adèle, intended him for a commercial career, but his determination to become a painter led them to authorize him to enter Jean Achard 's studio in Paris in 1846. After two years of training, he left to travel to Italy .
Returning to France in 1850, Henri Harpignies joined Corot and the Barbizon School, whose influence he came under. Bound by friendship, the two artists traveled to Italy together in 1860.
In 1859, he collaborated in the decoration of the staff room of the Charité hospital in Paris.
On his return from Italy in 1861, he achieved his first success at the Salon with his Lisière de bois sur les bords de l'Allier . He then exhibited regularly at the Salon. In 1866, he received his first medal for Le Soir in the Rome campaign, acquired by the State . He then lived at 185, rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré in the 8th arrondissement of Paris before moving to 9, rue Coëtlogon .
During his very long career, Henri Harpignies painted a large number of works in Hérisson in the Bourbonnais , as well as in the Nivernais and Auvergne . He made decorative works for the Paris Opera , including the Val d'Égrie panel , which he exhibited at the Salon in 1870. He was a friend of Léon Bonnat , who twice made his portrait in 1889 ( Musée des Beaux-Arts). He painted the stained glass windows of the Château de Trousse-Barrière in Briare in 1895. In 1898, he was named Rosati d'honneur .
Anatole France called him “the Michelangelo of trees and peaceful countryside” .
At the end of his life, he was nearly blind.

Thomas Girtin was born in London in 1775, the same year as J.M.W. Turner, and died in 1802, at the age of twenty-seven. The art of watercolour was transformed during Girtin's brief life. This was especially marked in landscape watercolours, which grew in scale and ambition. Led by Girtin and Turner, watercolourists abandoned careful stained drawings for a more dramatic style of painting that captured moods and a range of light and weather effects. Not everyone welcomed the rapid technical changes, especially as revolution and war threatened the established political order. For a brief period, however, watercolour painting was the epitome of modern art, and the landscapes of Girtin and Turner were welcomed as a national triumph.
Girtin was apprenticed at the age of 14, in the year of the French Revolution, and by the age of 19 he was exhibiting at London's Royal Academy, and producing watercolour landscapes for private patrons. However, unlike Turner, Girtin remained something of an outsider to the art establishment: he did not study at the Academy's schools, and was rumoured to have radical, or even revolutionary sympathies. He also tried to break away from the traditional reliance on the patronage of the wealthy, partly by trying to sell his work on the open market, and partly through two larger projects aimed at a mass audience: a group of twenty printed Views of Paris and an enormous 360 degree panorama of London...
