Henri Vincent-Anglade

1876-1956

Henri Vincent-Anglade was born on May 9, 1876 in Bordeaux, France. He added his mother’s patronymic to his father’s to distinguish himself from his brother, the poster designer René Vincent.

Vincent-Anglade was a pupil of Gustave Moreau, Fernand Corom and Francois Flameng at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and also Amable Pinta.

He exhibited in Paris and regularly appeared at the usual exhibitions, but especially the Salon des Artistes Français, where he was awarded a distinction in 1903.

Early in his career, Vincent-Anglade became a fashionable portrait painter, mainly of intimate paintings of women. As a regular at greyhound and horse races and an enthusiast of big game hunting he was also valued as an animal painter.
