Francis Hervé

Francis Hervé (1781–1850) was a French born British artist and travel writer.

He traveled in the Levant in about 1833. Hervé was commissioned by philhellene British General Richard Church to produce a series of portraits of the leaders of the Greek War of Independence. He wrote his impressions about his journey through Hungary, Balkans, Turkey and Greece in a book with lithographed scenes and portraits drawn by himself.

He was a close friend of Madame Tussaud. Her two sons published a book on their mother’s life and career in collaboration with Francis Hervé.
