Description
Portrait de Marie Louise is a painting of the artists daughter. Émile Munier was born in Paris on 2 June 1840 and lived with his family at 66 rue des Fossés, St. Marcel. His father, Pierre François Munier, was an artist upholsterer at the Manufacture Nationale des Gobelins and his mother, Marie Louise Carpentier, was a polisher in a cashmere cloth mill.[1] Émile and his two brothers, François and Florimond, were talented artists and each spent some time at the Gobelins.[1] At the factory Abel Lucas trained Marnier as a draughtsman[2] and he developed a close relationship with Lucas and his family, eventually marrying Lucas' daughter, Henriette,[1] in 1861.[2] In 1867, Henriette gave birth to a son, Emile Henri. Six weeks after the birth, having contracted severe rheumatism, Henriette died prematurely.[1] Sargine Augrand, a student of Lucas and a close friend of Émile and Henriette (before she died), caught Émile’s eye; they married in 1872 and lived in a small apartment and studio.[1] The couple had one child, a daughter, Marie-Louise, born in 1874.[1]
