Movement(s): Impressionism, Romanticism

Adolphe Hervier, in full: Louis-Henri-Victor-Jules-François-Adolphe Hervier (1818 – 1879) was a French painter and engraver, known for his rural genre scenes. Over his lifetime, his style changed from a strict Romanticism to an early type of Impressionism.

He was the son of a painter but had a difficult life in the beginning making it as a living. In addition to his numerous oil and watercolor paintings, he produced engravings by etching, aquatint and lithography.

Despite being Parisian, his favorite painting locations were in Normandy; including Honfleur, Le Havre, Rouen and Granville. Camille Corot helped promote his work, but he made little money and was employed painting landscape backgrounds for more prestigious artists.
