Leon Augustin L'hermitte

Leon Augustin L'hermitte (1844 - 1925) was active/lived in France.  Leon Lhermitte is known for Pastel and charcoal drawing, rural landscape and genre painting.

The only son of a village schoolmaster in Mont-Saint-Pere, France, Leon L'Hermitte had precocious drawing skills, which won him an annual grant from the state. In 1863, he went to Paris and became a student at the Petite Ecole. Jean-Charles Cazin, a fellow pupil, became a lifelong friend, and L'hermitte later got to know Alphonse Legros, Henri Fantin-Latour, Jules Dalou and Auguste Rodin, all who had all studied at the school.  In 1864 his charcoal drawing the Banks of the Marne near Alfort was exhibited at the Salon; he continued to exhibit his drawings at the Salon until 1889.

In 1871 Legros introduced him to the dealer Durand-Ruel, who agreed to sell several of his drawings.  In 1873, Durand-Ruel sent some of L'Hermitte's works to the Dudley Gallery for the first of the annual Black and White exhibitions and L'hermitte subsequently became a regular participant.   L'Hermitte won a third-class medal in the Salon of 1874 for his painting The Harvest   ...  [Displaying 1000 of 5244 characters.]  Artist bio
