François de Hérain (10 November 1877 – 28 May 1962) was a French painter, sculptor and engraver who had initially worked as a doctor.[1][2] He did many paintings of scenes in French Algeria and Morocco[3][4] and authored several art books. He won the Prix Charles Blanc from the Académie française for Peintres et sculpteurs écrivains d’art in 1961.[5] His wife, Eugénie Hardon, later married Marshal Philippe Pétain.[3]
He lived in Paris and Les Baux de Provence, where a square, Place François de Hérain, was named in his honour.[6]
