About Félix-Sébastien Feuillet de Conches

  • Félix-Sébastien Feuillet de Conches (4 December 1798 – 5 February 1887 in Paris) was a French diplomat, journalist, writer and collector.
  • Having occupied the posts of 'introducteur des ambassadeurs' and head of protocol at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he was able to form a collection specialising in English painting, 19th century French painting, the history of civilisations, the art of the Near East and the art of Asia.
  • His contemporary Charles Monselet judged de Conches' collection as unequalled, but it included some pieces of dubious authenticity.
