Three Founders of Music Iconography in France : Geneviève Thibault de Chambure, Albert Pomme de Mirimonde, and François Lesure

Abstract

This contribution presents the work of the three founding figures in French scholarship on music iconography. None of them was a scholar working in an academic milieu, but all of them played a prominent role in creating the foundation of this interdisciplinary field in France: Geneviève Thibault de Chambure was a musicologist, collector of music prints, manuscripts, and instruments, curator and concert organizer who initiated a public research collection of visual reproductions; Albert Pomme de Mirimonde, an autodidact art historian who published a prolific series of articles on artworks preserved mainly in French public collections; and François Lesure, a musicologist and librarian, who opened new perspectives in the sociology of music and the use of images in music studies, creating a collection of related monographs.
