The birth of our artist is followed by that of his brother Henri (1878-1949), also a painter . The death of the illnesses of Captain Liénard de Saint-Delis led Emma to leave the Pas-de-Calais in 1881 to move to Le Havre with her four children. After high school François-I of Le Havre where another student, Émile Othon Friesz , is his best friend, René de Saint-Delis attended successively the Municipal School of Fine Arts of Le Havre where, with his classmates, besides his brother Henri and Othon Friesz, others who will also become his friends ( Georges Braque , Raoul Dufy , Raimond Lecourt ), he follows the courses of Charles Lhuillier (a "great admirer of Boudin " at the same time as "he places the drawing first and foremost, forbidding his pupils to use color , and the Académie Julian in Paris, where from 1900 to 1904 he was a pupil of William Bouguereau . On January 29, 1906, Le Havre created the Circle of Modern Art, which consisted of artists (among them, René and Henri de Saint-Delis, their aforementioned friends, but also Gaston Prunier ) and Le Havre collectors, will organize until 1910 exhibitions affiliated to the Salon d'Automne in Paris, as well as musical and literary events to which Frantz Jourdain , Guillaume Apollinaire or Claude Debussy will participate . The first period in the work of René de Saint-Delis thus consists of painted navies in Le Havre before he was, escaping the front because reformed in 1910, assigned in 1915 to the 3rd territorial section of military nurses in Étretat (he is precisely secretary-accountant of the hospital 111) where he meets Jeanne Fidelin (1895-?), young native then nurse of the auxiliary hospital. The Lisieux municipal library houses a rare collective work, entitled Pages et croquis: 1914-1918, collecting texts and drawings, among which is the signature of René de Saint-Delis, making our artist a witness of the First World War. . Between 1916 and 1919, René de Saint-Delis went to Leysin in Switzerland several times to his brother Henri, who received extensive care against tuberculosis : hence his Waldensian landscapes such as the one preserved by the Alfred-Canel Museum of Pont-Audemer. His marriage to Le Havre on June 17, 1919 with Jeanne Fidelin made him settle permanently in Étretat, rue George-V . He then paints the daily life of the fishermen, the sea from the cliffs, the orchards and pastures that constitute the countryside Cauchoise: Marie-Hélène Desjardins restores in him a temperament "modest, living retired and caring little to be known, realizing in the shadow an abundant and original work " . In the evening of his life, he turns towards still lifes. The features of René de Saint-Delis remain fixed by the portrait of Emile Othon Friesz and that today preserves the Museum of Modern Art André Malraux Le Havre. He remains perceived as "not being without common traits with Henry, his younger brother, and the formula of Rene" never give up the contact with nature "is characteristic of both of them which, until 'at the end of their long career, will study daily on the motive' .

  • 1880s Figurative Sackett's Calvary Charge of the 9th New York Volunteers
    Located in Soquel, CA
    Late 19th century figurative painting of the battle of Trevilians Station and of the wounding of Colonel Sackett June 11, 1864. Oil on canvas in giltwood frame. Signed or notated indistinctly lower right. Image, 20.25"H x 36.25"W. Military History Prior to 1865 The 9th New York Cavalry contained two companies from Cattaraugus County. It was mustered into the service October 1, 1861 and, until mustered out in July, 1865, lost 619 officers and men out of a total enlistment of a little less than two thousand. It participated in many battles and skirmishes and lost its colonel, William Sackett, who was killed at Trevilian Station, Virginia, on June 11, 1864. From the Albany Evening Journal, July 20, 1864: Another name is added to the list of hero martyrs who have fallen in the service of their country. Col. WILLIAM SACKETT, of the Ninth New-York Cavalry, (son of Hon. W.A. SACKETT,) was mortally wounded in the engagement, under Gen. SHERIDAN, at Pavillion Station, Va., and died on the 14th ult. As he was left behind, the sad intelligence of his decease has but just been received. Col. SACKETT had seen much service. He entered the army on the 22d of April, 1861, was appointed Major of the Ninth New-York Cavalry in October of the same year, was promoted to Lieutenant-Colonelcy in August, 1862, and in March, 1863, became commander of the regiment. He was with Gen. MCCLEELAN in the Peninsula campaign, was in all the cavalry actions of the campaign which followed, was with the army in its advance after the battle of Antietam, and in almost constant conflict with the enemy until after the battle of Fredericksburgh. He participated in most of the cavalry engagements under Gen. HOOKER's command, was in all the principal cavalry actions during LEE's invasion of Maryland and Pennsylvania in 1863, and was among the first engaged in the terrible conflict at Gettysburgh, where he performed distinguished service in holding a rebel brigade in check a long time while our forces were getting into position on the crest of the hill. He was active in the cavalry skirmishes which ensued in the latter part of the Summer. During the present campaign he was with Gen. SHERIDAN in all his brilliant expeditions up to the time when he fell. He died while leading a charge against the enemies of his country -- died, as he wished to die, doing his whole duty. He was brave, he was generous, he was unflinchingly faithful to the cause of the Union. He loved the old flag with a love that was stronger than life, and esteemed it glorious to fall in its defense. He was born in Seneca Falls, and was 25 years of age. When the great civil war broke out [William Sackett] was practicing law at Albany, N. Y., having a short time previous been admitted to the bar. In December, 1861, he was commissioned Major of the 9th Regiment of New York Cavalry, and taking the field served with credit in several engagements in which that command participated. On June 27, 1862, his immediate superior, Lieutenant- Colonel Hyde, resigned and three days later Major Sackett was commissioned to fill the vacancy. On the 30th of the following May he was advanced to the Colonelcy of his regiment, with rank from March 15, 1863. It is stated in "Battles and Leaders of the Civil War" that the cavalry pickets commanded by Colonel Sackett fired the first shot at the battle of Gettysburg. He subsequently led his command, in a gallant manner, in numerous engagements, including the battle of Trevilians Station, fought June 10, 1864. There he received a mortal wound and died inside of the enemy's lines some three days later. The report that he had been severely wounded and was in the hands of the enemy soon reached his wife, who immediately determined to make an effort to reach and care for him, not knowing that he was already dead when the report reached her. The following correspondence, copied from Official Records published by the War Department, tells in most emphatic terms of her devotion. City Point, Va., July 7, 1864. General R. E. Lee, Commanding Confederate Army, Mrs. Sackett, the wife of Colonel William Sackett, who was wounded on the 11th of June, near Trevilians Station, Va., is here in deep distress and feeling great anxiety to learn the fate of her husband. Colonel Sackett was left at a house some two miles and a half from the station, in charge of...
