About Louis-Henri Foreau
- Louis-Henri Foreau (1866-1938) was a French artist. Foreau was a student of Jules Lefebvre, Henry Lévy, Luc-Olivier Merson and mainly of Henri Harpignies, with whom he became good friends. From 1888 onwards he often participated in the different Salon exhibitions in France and abroad.
- He became a jury member of the Société des Artistes Français, and chairman of the Association des Paysagistes Français. In his work influences from the Impressionists, the Symbolists and Barbizon movement are visible.
- Nevertheless, Foreau created his own style, which is characterized by a strict technique, an intense form of observation and a refined, somewhat melancholic atmosphere, which is also apparent in the work of Corot. In his oeuvre he drew on three themes: rural life, gardens and parks and Paris and its surroundings.
