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.
