Henri Paul Royer, 1869 - 1938, was a French painter, remembered especially for his genre works from Brittany. A painter of genre, portraitist and landscape artist, he traveled both in America and Europe during his life. Royer taught at the Académie Julian 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 November 17, 1915 and the Military Cross on August 10, 1916. Thereafter, he joined the 1st Regiment of Engineering camouflage section on November 1, 1916. He was promoted to officer of the Legion of Honor on 11 August 1931.
