Overview

Jean-Jacques Henner's family occupies an essential place in his work. After the death of his father, Georges Guillaume Henner, his loved ones showed him unwavering support and accompanied him throughout his career.

Beyond material aid, they also contributed to his artistic training: it was by painting their portraits that Henner explored, then perfected, this genre to which he would remain deeply attached.

Represented at different ages of their lives, his family members were his first but also his last models. This abundance of portraits testifies to the strength of the bonds uniting Henner with his own, true pillars and a source of inspiration throughout his existence.

The portraits of the members [of Jean-Jacques Henner's family], twenty times reproduced by his pious hands […] sufficiently attest to the place his mother, his sister Marie-Anne, his brother Grégoire, and especially his brother Séraphin, his wife and their children always held in his heart.

If Henner's art is the work of his vocation, Henner himself is the work of his family. Samuel Rocheblave, « La jeunesse d’Henner », Revue de l’Art Ancien et Moderne, 10 mars 190
