Ernest Victor Hareux
Ernest Victor Hareux (18 February 1847, Paris - 16 February 1909, Grenoble) was a French painter of landscapes and genre scenes.
Biography
He displayed a talent for drawing at the age of ten, and studied with several well known artists, including Charles Busson , Émile Bin and Léon Germain Pelouse.[1] His first exhibition at the Salon was in 1868, and he gave regular showings there throughout his life; receiving a third-class medal in 1880. He was named a member of the Société des Artistes Français in 1883.
Occasionally, he painted in Normandy, and in La Creuse, where he joined the École de Crozant and met Laurent Guétal, a priest and painter, who invited him to Grenoble in 1887. The frequent bad weather there prevented him from painting, and he became discouraged, but returned again the following year.[2]
He eventually came to favor painting in the mountains; befriending Théodore Ravanat, and other members of the artists' colony at Proveysieux. He was also associated with the École dauphinoise , which included Charles Bertier and Jean Achard, and was one of the founding members of the "Société des peintres de la montagne".
In 1906, he was named a Knight in the Légion of Honor.[3] The following year, he was elected to chair #48 at the Académie Delphinale in Grenoble.
