Jean-Pierre-Henri \u00c9louis comes from a family of German origin whose ancestor, who lived in Worms and was called von Ludwig, had translated his name with that of Elouis by being naturalized French, his mother, Anne Dutrou de la B\u00e9nardi\u00e8re, was a family in the country of Auge. The destiny for medicine, the parents of the young Elouis had studied him at the College du Bois, but he was driven irresistible by his taste for painting. His vocation was revealed by seeing his father painted who was endowed with a fairly remarkable amateur talent, and his first tests had not been those of an ordinary student. Entered the Robert Lef\u00e8vre’s workshop, he was then accepted in September 1776 By restout, who taught him to paint with oil and miniature, like that he first indulged. Soon he equaled the best disciples of Restout, of which he became one of the good students. In 1783, Henri \u00c9louis passed to England, starting, with this country, this series of long trips which were to make his life one of the most adventurous artist’s careers. After being admitted to the Royal Academy of London, where he won a silver medal, and befriended Joshua Reynolds, Thomas Lawrence and Francesco Bartolozzi, he visited Holland, Germany, Before returning to get married in Calais. Then, fleeing the wars of the revolution that could hinder his taste for the arts, he embarked on America. It was then that his mind eager to know everything developed fully. He traveled the new world from Newfoundland to Buenos Aires, exploring the United States, Mexico, Florida, Antilles, Guyana, Brazil, Peru, Plata, inspired by forest view Virgins, large rivers and immense lakes, and entrusting watercolors, which have been lost, its memories and its impressions. Henri \u00c9louis had been able to make himself, of the scholar naturalist Alexander von Humboldt, whom he often accompanied in his scientific trips, a devoted friend; Many times, since then, they mentioned the fatigue they had supported together. Often also Elouis traveled alone and then engaged in all the passion of his hazardous character. Nothing hung him, neither the endless deserts, the elements, nor the fury of men. One day when he accompanied European surveyors on land newly invaded by them and abducted with the natives, he escaped alone, and as a miracle, to the ax of the Indians returned in greater numbers. The surveyors and their escorts were massacred until the last. Some time before, he wanted to go from Baltimore to New Orleans when war broke out on all sides. The ship on which he had embarked was captured by the English. Sent prisoner in the Antilles, Henri \u00c9louis stopped for several months on Providence Island, with the prince prohibited the Duke of Orleans, future king of the French Louis-Philippe I is Who, seeking in the arts compensation for the troubles of exile, cultivated painting with some success and consulted it on the merit of his own works. After going through Baltimore, Alexandria, Annapolis, he stayed longer than everywhere else in Philadelphia, where he painted in miniature, kind he particularly liked, the portraits of several illustrious characters of the American Revolution, among others those of Judge Wilson , of General Wayne as well as George and Martha Washington. \u00c9louis returned to France in the course of 1807, leaving a large number of miniatures in America, mainly in Havana and Philadelphia. In Paris, \u00c9louis followed the advice of his friends Robert Lef\u00e8vre, Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben and Pierre-Narcisse Gu\u00e9rin, and those of his living protector Denon, who estimated his talent as a portrait painter, completely abandoning the miniature to adopt exclusively painting in oil. He was not long in feeling the advantages of the decision he had just made: the place of curator of the city museum of Caen having been vacant in 1811 on the death of Fran\u00e7ois-Pierre Fleuriau, Henri \u00c9louis obtained it In the competition whose test consisted of a study, a drawing and a copy. The head of study, preserved at the Caen Museum of Fine Arts, was solely subject to the examination of the judges who found her much greater than that of other competitors. Very sought after as a portrait painter, he distinguished himself by the purity of the drawing and a pleasant color. In the private sector, Henri \u00c9louis was of soft and easy customs; His lively, caustic and a little Voltairian mind was still enhanced by a rare literary instruction among painters. He knew Greek and spoke easily Latin, German, English, Spanish and Italian. Lector, like all travelers, he captured the attention of those who flowed him, by animated stories, by dramatic stories, by pleasant anecdotes, of which he had always been the witness or the hero. Henri \u00c9louis was married twice and had four marriages four children with whom he left no fortune. He had lived with all the artist’s carelessness and worked, not to acquire, but for painting herself. Besides, the adventurous spirit and the love of the arts which characterized him seem to have been a tendency in his family: his brother who devoted himself to music and was of a talent superior to the harp, had visited Italy , Germany, Russia, Scotland and England before settling definitively in London. Its two nieces, which also acquired a reputation as harpists, also traveled part of Europe. In addition, Elouis’ heritage had been lost during the Revolution, and the English, making him prisoner, had stripped him 80 000 Fran that he took with him. It was all his having, and on his return to France, the education of his numerous family prevented him from raising anything again. At 85, his sight was still the same and his hand was as safe as in his youth. A few days before making the last sigh, he signed a portrait of a child, as remarkable as any other of his works. His portraits are recommended by the purity of the drawing and by a pleasant color. He also excelled by the accuracy and loyalty of his copies. We assure that Fran\u00e7ois G\u00e9rard, seeing the copy he had made of his Louis XVIII , said he would gladly sign such work.
