Alfred Jean Garnier (1848–1908) was a French enameller, and pupil and collaborator of Paul Grandhomme.[1][2]
He was born in Puiseaux, Loiret and died in Bazoches, Nièvre.[3] He was a painter, engraver and enameler.[3] He was a student of Cabanel and presented at the Salon de Paris in 1874 and 1878. Several of his works are exhibited at the Musée d'Orsay.[3][4]
One of his most famous works is of a man supposed to be the poet Arthur Rimbaud.[5]
He was a friend of the sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, meeting him at the École des Beaux-Arts, along with Albert Dammouse, holidaying with them in France and Switzerland.[6]
