Eudoxe Marcille

Also known as: Eudoxe Marcille; primary name: Marcille, Eudoxe
Details: individual; collector; French; Male
Life dates: 1814-1890
Biography: Art collector and patron. Director of the Musée d'Orléans in 1870; President of the Société des Amis des Arts, 1871. In 1874 organised an exhibition on Prud'hon at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts for the benefit of Prud'hon's daughter; several of the drawings exhibited were either his or his brother's. Eudoxe was the son of art collector and portraitist François-Martial (1790-1856) and the brother of Camille-Constantin (1816-1875). Part of François-Martial's collection was divided between his sons shortly before his death, and the rest was sold in Paris (12-17 January; 2-3 March; and 4-7 March 1857). Eudoxe also bought several works at his brother's posthumous sale (6-9 March 1876). Only use when sure that the name applies to Eudoxe.
