Lucien Henry

Lucien Félix Henry (22 May, 1850 - 10 March, 1896), was a French painter, who was active in Sydney.

On April 3, he took part in the exit from Châtillon (Battle of Meudon),where the communards were defeated by the forces of the Third Republic.

Granted amnesty in 1878, he moved to Australia in June 1879, the year of Sydney International Exhibition.

The stained glass windows in Sydney Town Hall[5] were an important work.

Returning to France in 1891 in search of a publisher for a collection of his Australian watercolors, he died in 1896 in the hamlet of Le Pavé in Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat where he was buried.
