Le Havre – The Artists – de Saint-Delis, Rene
This page forms part of a series of pages dedicated to the many artists who painted in Le Havre. A full list of all the artists with a link to their works can be found at the bottom of this page.
Rene de Saint-Delis, 1876 – 1958, was a French painter influenced by the Impressionist movement. He was born in the North of France (Pas-de-Calais) and died in Etretat, Normandy.
His father, an army officer, died in 1881 causing his mother to move to Le Havre with her four children. One of his younger brothers, Henri, also became an artist-painter.
At his high school in Le Havre, his best friend was the now famous painter Othon Friesz. Attending subsequent art schools, he friended the other famous Le Havre painter, Raoul Dufy.
During WWI he was stationed in Etretat as bookkeeper for the hospital where he met his wife, a nurse. He married her and stayed in Etretat.
He travelled a lot to Switzerland to visit his sick brother who was diagnosed with tuberculosis. There, he painted several Swiss landscapes together with his brother.
