NICOLAS RÉMY MAIRE (20.12.1800, MIRECOURT - 1878, PARIS)

› MIRECOURT › PARIS

The son of a weaver, Nicolas Rémy Maire was probably trained by Pajeot, whose style he adopted before opening his workshop around 1826. The serious economic crisis in France in the 1830s led him to bankruptcy, but he recovered and in the 1840s his production was flourishing. After the death of Pajeot (1849), Nicolas, who had frequently traveled to Paris, settled there around 1857 and worked for Gand, Vuillaume and Chanot. At that time, his style was closer to D. Peccatte's.
