Henry Moret

(French, 1856–1913)

Henry Moret was a French painter best known for his involvement in the Pont-Aven artist colony and his richly colored landscapes of coastal Brittany. Born on December 12, 1856 in Cherbourg, France, Moret went on to work with Ernest Corroller before enrolling at the École des Beaux-Arts, where he studied under the Orientalist painter Jean-Léon Gérôme. He then joined the artists at Pont-Aven in 1888, led by Paul Gauguin and Paul Sérusier. Though their use of Symbolism influenced Moret’s work for a time, his technique became increasingly Impressionist as he quickly returned to landscape painting. Today, his works are in the collections of the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and the Southampton City Art Gallery in the United Kingdom, among others. Moret died on May 5, 1913 in Paris, France.
