SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
The French painter Henry Grosjean was born in 1864 in Gondrecourt-le-Château and died in 1948 in Coligny. His full name was Marie Gustave Henry Grosjean; he was the son of Claude Émile Grosjean, an ironmaster, and Marie Martin, known as Neuville. His training with Gustave Boulanger, Jules Lefebvre and Tony Robert-Fleury preceded his Salon debut, and he exhibited there from 1894.
He received a third medal there in 1899, the year in which he was also awarded the Raigecourt-Goyon Prize. In 1902, he was awarded a second medal and placed hors concours. In 1908, together with Ernest Marché and Georges Jules Moteley, he created landscape decorations depicting the French provinces for two school complexes in the 8th arrondissement of Paris.
His career was also marked by official distinctions: appointed Officier d’Académie in 1909, he was awarded the Légion d’honneur in 1911. He received the Bonnat Prize in 1934. After receiving a gold medal from the Société des Artistes français, he became president of the Paysagistes Français in 1938. At the 1939 Salon, he chaired the jury.
