to identify see photo Philippe-Auguste Jeanron - Painter, writer, director of the national museums (1808-1877) Patriot during the Revolution of 1830, talented artist, director, between 1848 and 1850, of the national museums, whose destiny he would influence in a visionary manner, Philippe-Auguste Jeanron is the witness of a passionate era. His artistic and political commitment reflects a crucial stage in the history of ideas, and marks a particularly brilliant moment in the evolution of museums, the Louvre in particular. His biography and the reasoned description of his work were the subject, in 1935, of a work by Marie-Martine Dubreuil, which the current predilection for the 19th century brings back into fashion.
