Émile
Munier (2 June 1840 – 29 June 1895)
was a French academic artist and student of William-Adolphe Bouguereau.
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. Émile and his two
brothers, François and Florimond, were talented artists and each spent some time
at the Gobelins. At the factory Abel Lucas trained Marnier as a draughtsman and
he developed a close relationship with Lucas and his family, eventually marrying
Lucas' daughter, Henriette, in 1861. In 1867, Henriette gave birth to a son,
Emile Henri. Six weeks after the birth, having contracted severe rheumatism,
Henriette died prematurely. 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.The couple had one
child, a daughter, Marie-Louise, born in 1874.
