Dieppe – The Artists – Blanche, Jacques-Emile
Jacques-Emile Blanche was a French artist, largely self-taught, who became a successful portrait painter, working in London and Paris. Blanche was born in Paris. His father, whose name he shared, was a successful psychiatrist who ran a fashionable clinic, and he was brought up in the rich Parisian neighborhood of Passy in a house that had belonged to the Princesse de Lamballe.
Most of his paintings were made in London, Paris and Dieppe (Normandy). Here are his paintings of Dieppe and its surroundings.
