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. ==Bibliography== * ''A residence in Greece and Turkey, with notes of the journey through Bulgaria, Servia, Hungary and the Balkan''.
