More information

Hessling, born in Champagne-Ardennes, had sought refuge in Nice during World War I. In 1917, her beauty came to the attention of Henri Matisse, who sent her to fellow artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir as he thought she looked like a suitable Renoir subject. Hessling modelled, (clothed and nude), for Renoir until his death in December 1919. Renoir's second son, Jean, fell in love with Hessling, and the couple married on 24 January 1920. Hessling gave birth to a son, Alain, on 31 October 1921. ...   Hessling, born in Champagne-Ardennes, had sought refuge in Nice during World War I.
