Henri SAINTIN 1846-1899
French painter of genre scenes, landscapes, marine scenes, still lifes and aquafortist.
The son of a grocer, he entered the École des Beaux-arts de Paris and became a pupil of Alexandre Ségé, Isidore Pils and others.
His first paintings were exhibited at the Salon from 1867.
In 1871, he won the Prix Troyon.
In 1889, he won the gold medal at the Paris Universal Exhibition.
He painted panels for the Salon des Lettres at the Paris City Hall.
In 1891, he was awarded the Légion d'honneur.
He finds his inspiration in the Fontainebleau forest, Brittany and the Gold Coast.
"He belongs to the school of Corot, Troyon, Rousseau and Daubigny; he already possessed the accuracy of drawing to which he added the rightness of tone and the sincere, wide-ranging execution of the modern landscape school. Gifted with great qualities of observation and proportion, his drawing, facture and touch were always sober and to scale (as the architects say), according to the size of the painting or the simple nature study".
His works can be found in many museums
