Henry Moret (1856-1913) | Impressionist painter

Henry Moret🎨 was a Normandy-born artist with a Breton soul devoted most of his work to Brittany, whose ever-wild landscapes and stormy seas still attract numerous artists seeking fresh inspiration.

He exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants and the Salon d’Automne.

Moret’s Breton landscapes of the early 1890s have often been mistaken for those of Gauguin🎨.

The work of Henry Moret is represented in the Musée d’Orsay, Paris; the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Quimper; Southampton City Art Gallery; the National Museums and Galleries of Wales, Cardiff; the Hermitage, St Petersburg; the National Gallery of Art, Washington DC; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and Indianapolis Museum of Art.
