Pierre Ernest Prins

Pierre Ernest Prins (1838 - 1913) was active/lived in France.  Pierre Prins is known for Painting, engraving, sculpture.

Pierre Prins, born in Paris on November 26, 1838 and died in the same city on January 21, 1913, was a French painter, engraver and sculptor. His maternal grandfather, Mr. Bourgeois, took him as an apprentice in his workshop where he learned to work with horn, metals, ivory and precious woods. He developed a passion for sculpture and, on his mother's advice, enrolled in drawing lessons at a decorative arts school in 1861.

Pierre Prins met Édouard Manet through his sister Pauline, a very close friend of Suzanne Leenhoff, who took him to the musical evenings that the latter organized. Among his friends, there were also Stéphane Mallarmé and Alfred Sisley, with whom he shared a taste for the countryside and the peasantry.

Manet remained closest to his wife and he and Prins both have musician wives. In 1869, with his sister Marie Lucienne, Prins bought the business of the Bourgeois grandparents and, on July 1, 1869, he married Fanny Claus, with Manet as a witness.
