Notes |
ULAN ID: 500004358 Auguste Jean Jacques Hervieu (1794- ?), watercolorist (genre and humorous subjects), was born near Paris, France, the son of a colonel in Napoleon's army. After leaving military school upon the death of his father, he studied under Girodet in France. Banished from that country in 1823 for his political activities against King Louis XVIII, he traveled to England where he met the Trollope family, parents of the novelist and studied with Sir Thomas Lawrence. In 1828 he traveled to Tennessee with Mrs. Trollope as a tutor to her children. Returning to England with them in 1830, Hervieu supplied the illustrations for Mrs. Trollope's "Domestic Manners of the Americans" (1832). Little is known of his later years except that he exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1858. (Fielding 157; Groce and Wallace 311-12) |
