Filippini (student of the Atelier Julian)

In the diary

• 29 November 1882 (097.0166): in the women's studio, «Il n'y a pas une élève intéressante sauf Filippini et encore».
• 31 May 1883 (100.0045): the concours result: «c'est Amélie qui est jugée première puis cinq hommes, puis moi, puis Filippini».

She is a woman student of Julian's ladies' studio («une élève»), not Charles-Louis «Kiki» Filippini, the Corsican Bonapartist of the Gavini circle (FILIPPINI), although the Mon Journal t.15 index files both pages under him («Filipini (Charles, Louis) [Kiki] : … 125, 273»).

Identity uncertain

We are not sure who this is. The diary gives only the surname of a fellow student at the Atelier Julian in 1882–83, placed just after Marie in the concours of May 1883; searches for a woman painter Filippini exhibiting in the 1880s or listed among Julian's students found nothing. If you can identify her, we would be glad to hear from you.
