When Henri Daco was a child, he became interested in graphic arts and showed a desire to follow an artistic training. In September 1876, he enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts, where he completed his secondary and higher education.

In 1913, Daco married Eva Radermacker. They live in apartment located in an empire style mansion, Coronmeuse square in Herstal. In 1935, his widow bequeathed an important part of his works to the municipality of Herstal.

Henri Daco was a painter of landscapes and portraits. The Meuse, with the island Monsin, inspired a whole series of paintings. He painted now-lost quays, the basin, the channel, the canal, the shooting garden. His style is strongly marked by his neo-classical formation and is influenced by the romanticism and impressionism of the French fashionable painters.
