Mus X enriches its collections with the portrait of an alumnus, dated 1814

The painting by Césarine Davin-Mirvault (1773-1844) was acquired via pre-emption at a sale at the Drouot auction house in Paris, with the support of the Fondation de l École Polytechnique and Sabix. It depicts a young polytechnician, in École Polytechnique uniform, in front of Fort de Vincennes in 1814, during the Battle of Paris. It was presented for the first time to the School, during a ceremony at Mus X, the X museum, on May 13, 2025.
