Emile Renouf - Un coup de main - Echando una mano - Helping hand

The story of the artist. 
Very little is known about the boyhood of the man who painted this picture. His paintings were usually of fisherfolk, and of boats on the water. 
We know that in 1886 he came to America and spent one year in New York City. It was during this time that he painted his picture of Brooklyn Bridge, now in the museum in Le Havre, the town in France where he died. 

"A Helping Hand" is the most popular of his pictures, and may be seen in the Corcoran Gallery at Washington, D.C.

   Emile Renouf’s painting, “Un Coup de Main” (“The Helping Hand”), is oil on canvas 60 by 89 inches, signed and dated 1881


   For more than 100 years, Renouf’s greatest work captivated visitors to Washington, D.C.’s Corcoran Collection with its charming subject: the silent concord between an aging fisherman and his young helper, the skillful handling of its composition and detail, and its sheer size (5 by 7 feet).
