About Henri Alphonse Barnoin
- Henri Alphonse Barnoin (1882–1940) was a French painter born in Paris in 1882. Barnoin's father was an artist as were two of his uncles, and he studied art at the École des Beaux Arts in Paris.
- Although Barnoin initially studied with Luc-Olivier Merson, it was his second teacher, Émile Dameron, who became a more significant influence on his artistic style, attracting Barnoin to Impressionism.He first exhibited his paintings at the Salon des Artistes de Paris in 1909.
- He continued to exhibit regularly at this annual Salon, winning a Silver Medal in 1921 and a Gold Medal in 1935.
- He chose to live in Concarneau in 1919 having been a frequent visitor to the port before the 1914-1918 war.
- There he opened a studio on the "Quai Pénéroff" which became a favourite meeting place for fellow artists all inspired by the light and animated scenes of fishing boats, village markets, and the sea.
- In 1926, Barnoin became official Artist to the French Navy.
- In addition to his oil paintings, he was a renowned pastellist, enjoying playing with the effect of light on a variety of scenes in a Post-Impressionist style.
- The Musée de Faouët, a museum dedicated to showing the paintings of artists who had worked in Brittany, had a major retrospective of Henri Barnoin’s paintings in 2006.
- He died in Paris in 1940. Among Barnoin's favored subjects were marine, harbour, and coastal scenes, mostly painted in the rich settings of Brittany.
- This is exemplified in his painting Fishing Harbour, Concarneau, Brittany as shown below. Some of Barnoin's most famous works are A Brittany harbour, La promenade en barque, Pardon de St.
