Lehmann, Henri (b Kiel, Holstein, 14 April 1814; d Paris, 30 March 1882)

French painter and teacher of German origin. A pupil of his father, Leo Lehmann (1782–1859), and Ingres, whose studio he entered in 1831, Lehmann enjoyed a long and much honoured career. His work reflects his fervent admiration and emulation of Ingres, his respect for the art of the Nazarenes and his study of 17th-century Italian art. He exhibited regularly at the Salon from 1835, gaining first-class medals in 1840, 1848 and in 1855. He was represented by 20 works at the Exposition Universelle.
