Henri-Pierre Danloux was born in Paris. Brought up by his architect uncle, Danloux was a pupil of Lépicié and later of Vien, whom he followed to Rome in 1775. Ann an 1783, he returned to Lyon and Paris, where he was patroned by the Baronne Mégret de Sérilly d’Etigny, who secured for him a number of important portrait commissions exclusively for the aristocracy. He emigrated to London in 1792 thereby escaping the French Revolution and its potential consequences.
Fhad ‘s a bha e ann an Sasainn, he was commissioned for portraits of the officer class and the well-to-do. Members of one such family, the Lamberts of Oxfordshire, engaged the master in 1800 and had sittings for its individual members: father, màthair agus mac (Eanraig Iain Lambert, Bt.), fein, nas fhaide air adhart nam beatha, a’ frithealadh ann an Rèisimeid Grenadier de Gheàrdan-coise, na Leas-cheannard airson Siorrachd Oxford agus an Àrd-Siorram [Peter Lambert bho litir a – Pawsey & Payne, 1973]. Danloux, air ais gu Paris ann an 1801, an sin ath-thòiseachadh a dhreuchd.
Thug peantairean dhealbhan Sasannach fasanta leithid Thomas Lawrence buaidh air Danloux (1769–1830), John Hoppner (1758–1810), and George Romney (1734–1802). Ann an 1793, rinn e taisbeanadh aig an Acadamaidh Rìoghail ann an Lunnainn agus mar thoradh air sin thàinig coimiseanan bho ghrunn luchd-taic Breatannach. Bhàsaich Danloux ann am Paris ann an 1809.
