Jean-Jacques Henner

Jean-Jacques Henner was a 19th-century French painter and teacher. He is known as a representative of academism in the history of European art. Jean-Jacques Henner was a versatile painter, he created many works with religious subjects, portraits and landscapes, but he also frequently referred in his works to the genre of life and painted pictures of nudity.

Jean-Jacques Henner organized a private painting studio in Paris, which, unlike the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, allowed women to study. For 15 years he ran this institution until he was elected professor of the Academy of Fine Arts, where he continued his teaching career. Henner's students included a large number of talented women artists.

For many years Henner led an active creative and public life. He was a member of several artistic associations and received from the French authorities many prestigious awards. In Paris and today there is a national museum of Jean-Jacques Henner, where the works of the master are exhibited.
