Henri Pierre Jamet born in Gien in 1858 and died in Gargilesse in 1940.
Portraitist, landscaper and specialist in genre scenes, Henri Jamet is one of the artists of the Creuse valley.
He was a student of Jean-Léon Gérôme at the École des beaux-arts in Paris, then of Henri Harpignies and Albert Maignan. Henri Jamet's artistic career essentially took place between Montmartre and Gargilesse, where his wife Marie Mahout, also a painter, and he had a house and a secondary workshop.
Alternately a decorator, a landscaper particularly attached to the Creuse valley, but also an author of still lifes and a skilled portraitist, he appears above all as a master of genre painting. We owe him in particular several Berry interiors.
A member of French artists, he was awarded numerous prizes during the various exhibitions in which he participated, in Paris and in the provinces. He notably obtained a bronze medal at the Universal Exhibition of 1900 for A Family of Weavers and The Widow's Garden. He is represented in several French museums and at the Rumyantsev Museum in Moscow. He participated in the decoration of the Château de Charbonnière in Saint-Jean-de-Braye and that of the town hall of Montrouge. The decorative panels he made for the Saint-Pierre de Gien church were declared destroyed during the bombings of 1940.
Henri Jamet is the father of Pierre Jamet (1893-1991) and the grandfather of Marie-Claire Jamet, (born in 1933), both internationally renowned harpists.
He is also the father of Charles Jamet, cellist, and the grandfather of Lucien Jamet, painter and ceramist. He is the great-grandfather of Jean-François Jamet and Eric Jamet (1957-2019).
He died in Gargilesse on October 17, 1940.
