* Lucien Félix HENRY born in 1850 and died in 1896.
In 1867 he arrived in Paris to take courses in Viollet-le-Duc then those in Fine Arts. He painted a lot, especially landscapes and we can relate him to the Barbizon School.
For political reasons in 1871 he was imprisoned and deported to New Caledonia for 7 years. After an amnesty in 1877 he moved to Australia with the notoriety of professor of fine arts, painter and sculptor. He does the stained glass windows for the SYDNEY town hall which is still in place. He is recognized at the SYDNEY museum where his works are exhibited as well as at the New Caledonian museum.
