Aimé Millet

Overview

Aimé Millet (1819–1891), French sculptor (the colossal Vercingétorix at Alise-Sainte-Reine, 1865) (en.wikipedia «Aimé Millet»). Marie names him only in lists of the sculptors of the day. Not the painter Jean-François Millet (MILLET), whom she names far more often.

• 102.0462 (10 December 1883): «est-ce que tous les sculpteurs maintenant ne font pas de la peinture ? Millet, Mercier, Falguière, Dubois etc.» («Mercier» here is the sculptor Antonin Mercié, t.16 index «Mercier (M.), sculpteur : 97»).

The Mon Journal indexes file both pages under the painter («Millet (Jean François)», t.15 p.224, t.16 p.97), but in a list of sculptors the sculptor is meant (0.85).
