Jules René Hervé (1887-1981) is a painter considered to be the last French impressionist. He is best known for his paintings depicting scenes of  life bathed in light.
Born in 1887 in Langres, Jules René Hervé began his artistic studies at an evening school in his hometown. As far back as he can remember, he always wanted to become a talented artist in order to be able to express through color the beauty of everything he saw.

In Paris, he continued his artistic studies at the École des Arts Décoratifs then at the École des Beaux Arts. He exhibited his works for the first time at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1910.

Indifferent to fashions and trends from outside, he never stopped deepening the technical secrets of his art, and after 50 years of artistic experience, he arrived at a perfect mastery of the science of this art that absorbs him. Jules René Hervé is a painter of everyday life, he represents characters vacant to their daily tasks and scenes of Parisian life.
He interprets them with great sensitivity, putting all his heart into his work. All his artistic sensitivity is ensured by light and color.
