 PIERRE HENRI DE VALENCIENNES - Biography
Despite his famous maxim, ‘work in haste, so as to seize Nature as she is’,[1] surely a command well understood by the Impressionists, Valenciennes was a forgotten artist within less than a century of his reception at the Academy.
Valenciennes was born in Toulouse and studied first in the academy there with a minor local history painter, Jean-Baptiste Despax, under whose tutelage he would have become familiar with the iconography of conventional classical and biblical subjects, and the miniaturist Guillaume Gabriel Bouton.
Valenciennes had again returned to Rome by 1785 and, two years later, on 28 July 1787, was received at the Royal Academy in Paris.

His papers on the Mollusca began as early as 1792, but most of his memoirs on this branch were published in the Annales du museum between 1802 and 1815; they were subsequently collected as Mémoires pour servir de l'histoire et a l'anatomie des mollusques, published in one volume at Paris in 1817.
