Royer was born in [[Nancy, France|Nancy]]. He was the son of Jules Royer (1845–1900), the founder of one of Nancy's most significant lithographic printing establishments located on Rue de la Salpêtrière.<ref>{{Harvsp|Réunion des Musées Nationaux|1999|p=264}}</ref> Raised in the art world from a young age, Royer enrolled at the Nancy School of Fine Arts, where he met [[Émile Friant]].<ref>{{Harvsp|Conseil des musées nationaux|2002|p=91}}</ref> Under the tutelage of Antoine Vierling and [[Louis-Théodore Devilly]],<ref>{{Harvsp|Société lorraine des amis des arts|1903|p=84}}</ref> he showcased his initial artworks at the Salon de Nancy, including ''Fight between two young typos'' and ''Young plasterer''. These early successes prompted his parents and teachers to encourage a study trip to Holland with Friant, who subsequently left a lasting impact on Royer.<ref>{{Harvsp|Société lorraine des amis des arts|1903|pp=84–85}}</ref> |

After his return in 1888, Royer furthered his studies at the [[École des Beaux-Arts]] in Paris. In 1890, he continued his studies at the [[Académie Julian]] under the guidance of [[Jules Joseph Lefebvre]] and [[François Flameng]]. Royer became a regular exhibitor at the [[Paris Salon]], specializing in genre paintings and portraits. As a portraitist, he encountered many famous figures from the aristocracy, politics, diplomacy, science and the arts. As a result, his critics described him as one of [[Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres|Ingres]]' disciples.<ref name=audierne>[http://www.audierne.fr/indexfr.php?rubrique=decouvrir_patrimoinecollection "La collection municipale"], {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111130154402/http://www.audierne.fr/indexfr.php?rubrique=decouvrir_patrimoinecollection |date=2011-11-30 }} Ville d'Audierne. {{in lang|fr}} Retrieved 2 May 2012.</ref> |

Henri Paul Royer (22 January 1869 – 31 October 1938) was a French painter, remembered especially for his genre works from Brittany. A painter of genre, portraitist and landscape artist, he travelled throughout America and Europe during his life.
Biography
[edit]Royer was born in Nancy. He was the son of Jules Royer (1845–1900), the founder of one of Nancy's most significant lithographic printing establishments located on Rue de la Salpêtrière.[1] Raised in the art world from a young age, Royer enrolled at the Nancy School of Fine Arts, where he met Émile Friant.[2] Under the tutelage of Antoine Vierling and Louis-Théodore Devilly,[3] he showcased his initial artworks at the Salon de Nancy, including Fight between two young typos and Young plasterer. These early successes prompted his parents and teachers to encourage a study trip to Holland with Friant, who subsequently left a lasting impact on Royer.[4]
After his return in 1888, Royer furthered his studies at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. In 1890, he continued his studies at the Académie Julian under the guidance of Jules Joseph Lefebvre and François Flameng. Royer became a regular exhibitor at the Paris Salon, specializing in genre paintings and portraits. As a portraitist, he encountered many famous figures from the aristocracy, politics, diplomacy, science and the arts. As a result, his critics described him as one of Ingres' disciples.[5]
In 1896, accompanied by his wife, he arrived in Brittany, here he would spend much of his life, particularly in the vicinity of Audierne. Unlike other artists, his primary interest lay in the people, rather than the scenery. In order to become closer to them, he even learnt to speak Breton. His paintings reveal careful attention to their costumes. As a devout Catholic, he also painted religious subjects, such as solitary figures in prayer.[5]
Royer taught at the Académie Julian[6] and at the École des Beaux-Arts. Among his many students were Georgina and Lucilio de Albuquerque, Fréderic Fiebig, Jacques Majorelle, Thérèse Geraldy and Émile Louis Picault.
When the First World War broke out, he was first incorporated into the 41st Infantry Regiment. He was awarded the Croix de Guerre on 17 November 1915 and the Military Cross on 10 August 1916. Thereafter, he joined the 1st Regiment of Engineering camouflage section on 1 November 1916.[7][8] His work was part of the painting event in the art competition at the 1932 Summer Olympics.[9]
He was promoted to officer of the Legion of Honor on 11 August 1931.[8] He died seven years later, in Neuilly-sur-Seine, on 31 October 1938.
