Biography

Émile Molinier (26 April 1857 – 5 May 1906) was a 19th-century French curator and art historian.

Career

Following his elder brother Auguste, Émile Molinier studied at the École Nationale des Chartes. He wrote a thesis on medieval history entitled Étude sur la vie d'Ernoul, sire d'Audrehem, maréchal de France which earned him the archivist paleographer degree in 1879.

He first worked at the Département des Estampes et de la Photographie de la Bibliothèque nationale de France (fr) before joining the Louvre, where he served as curator of the newly created art objects department. He published books on stained glass, ceramics, enamels and furniture and organized major exhibitions. A specialist of French decorative art, he wrote the first catalog of the Wallace Collection at the time of its opening.
