Henri Jules Jean Geoffroy was a pupil of Adam Levasseur. Known as a painter of childhood charm; it perfectly captured the innocent spirit of the school children. He painted many genre scenes, often tinged with the naive style. His dark tones generally match his chosen subjects.<\/span><\/p>\n

He often placed gray figures on a black background, letting in no more light than necessary to illuminate pale faces, as in The Prayer of the Humble<\/em> or Forsaken<\/em> .<\/p>\n

A distinguished illustrator appreciated by critics and the public, he notably illustrated Charles Perrault’s Tales<\/em> (1897) and Stahl’s Adventures of Tom Thumb<\/em> . He exhibited for the first time in 1874 at the Paris Salon, then at the Salon des artistes fran\u00e7ais, of which he became a member in 1883.<\/p>\n

He received an honorable mention in 1883, a third class medal in 1886 and a gold medal in 1900 at the Universal Exhibition. He was made Chevalier of the Legion of Honor.<\/span><\/p>\n
