Henry Louis Dupray Art
French, 1851-1909
Louis Henry Dupray or Henri Dupray , born on 3 november 1841 in Sedan, died on 17 april 1909 in Paris, was a painter, engraver and illustrator. He is known mainly for his history paintings and more particularly of military scenes .
Initially intended for a military career, Henri-Louis Dupray was forced, following a horseback accident, to give up this route. His interest in art developed, particularly through technical drawing, and he quickly became a pupil of thepainters Léon Cogniet and Isidore Pils at the Beaux-Arts in Paris. From the start of his artistic career, Dupray specialized in the representation of military subjects, only very occasionally devoting himself to the elaboration of portraits. From 1863, he exhibited regularly at the Salon and, from 1865, became a member of the society of aquafortists . The painter Édouard Manet belonged to his circle of friends.
Scenes from the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars predominated in Dupray's work until 1870, when more and more drawings, paintings and illustrations were added relating to the Franco-German War of 1870.
He was named Knight of the Legion of Honor in 1878.
In addition to oil paintings , Dupray produced various etchings during his life ( Drum School, La Patrouille, Brigadier, etc.). His drawings appeared several times in the French magazine Le Courrier and he is repeatedly entrusted with the role of book illustrator for various authors such as Alfred de Vigny , Henri Dupont-Delporte or Victor Hugo.to

Early 20thC Watercolor and Gouache. 'Gentlemen at the Races, Point to Pointing'.
By Sir Alfred James Munnings
Located in Cotignac, FR
Early 20th century watercolour of a gentleman on horseback with other riders in the background apparently signed or titled 'Count A de Monthaus'. Signed or titled bottom left. Presented in fine period gilt frame under glass.
The artist has captured a moment of pause, the gentlemen rider in his fine clothes and bowler hat regarding his surroundings as his fellow riders continue the chase behind him, possibly a 'point to point'. Monthaus has captured the stance of the standing horse as well as the movement of the other horses. He has used white to give light and definition to the costume of the rider and the background. A lovely atmospheric and dynamic watercolour very much of its period and in the spirit of equine portraiture made famous by the likes of Sir Alfred Munnings.
Sir Alfred James Munnings, KCVO PRA RI (8 October 1878 – 17 July 1959) was known as one of England's finest painters of horses, and as an outspoken critic of Modernism. Engaged by Lord Beaverbrook's Canadian War...
