Hyacinthe-Eugène Meunier (14 May 1841 – 22 April 1906), known as Eugène Murer, was a pastry chef, author, self-taught painter and collector of impressionist paintings.[1][2][3]
He was born in Poitiers on 14 May 1846.[4] He was a childhood friend of Armand Guillaumin, who introduced him to the impressionists.[5] He was an apprentice pastry chef at Grû at 8 Rue du Faubourg-Montmartre and 125 Faubourg Poissonnière.[6][7]
He died in Auvers-sur-Oise, where he was a neighbour of Gachet,[1] on 22 April 1906.[9] He lived on 39 rue Victor Massé, Paris, above a carpenter and art supply dealer called Michel, where he bought his paints.[8] The Musée d'Orsay owns one of his paintings, L'Oise at Isle-Adam, from 1903.[10]
