Henri Lebasque was a French Post-Impressionist painter. His works are exhibited in several French museums, including the Musée d’Orsay in Paris. He began his training at the École régionale des beaux-arts d’Angers and moved to Paris in 1886, where he studied under Léon Bonnat and assisted Ferdinand Humbert with the murals in the Panthéon. Lebasque met Camille Pissarro and Auguste Renoir, who strongly influenced his style. He was a co-founder of the Salon d’Automne in 1903 and exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants. Lebasque became friends with artists such as Raoul Dufy and Henri Manguin, who introduced him to the south of France, which had a lasting effect on his colour palette. In addition to the south of France, he also travelled to the Vendée, Normandy and Brittany. Lebasque achieved commercial success during his lifetime and worked on decorations for the Champs-Elysées theatre and the transatlantic steamer. He died in 1937 in Le Cannet, Alpes Maritimes.
