More from Le Cimetière Père-Lachaise, Paris (75): #20: Vivant Denon

Vivant Denon (1747–1825) was an engraver and a writer as well as a French diplomat and administrator. He became the general director of museums, and as such was particularly involved with the Louvre. Study bored him, although observation entertained him. The sculpture is by Pierre Cartellier.
