Biography:
Alfred BRUNEL DE NEUVILLE 1852 / 1941
Alfred Arthur Brunel-Neuville (or Brunel de Neuville), born in Paris in 1852 and died in the same city in 1941, is a French genre painter, author of still lifes and paintings of animals, especially cats.

He was a student of Léon Brunel. A member of the Society of French Artists, he has taken part in exhibitions since 1879.

Brunel de Neuville is the painter of still lifes; he exalts the velvety, the precision of the feathers, hairs etc… by contrasting them with the dry material of the wicker baskets and the wood of the table. He manages to paint subtle variations.
He exhibits at the Salon from 1879, small canvases depicting games of cats and kittens, then very popular with amateurs.
In 1909 he exhibits in Nîmes Young cats and Peaches and grapes "Eleventh exhibition in Nîmes, 1909. Explanatory catalogue of works of painting, sculpture, drawing, architecture etc. admitted to the exhibition, A. Chastanier, Nîmes, 1909, p. 21 gallica.bnf. fr [archive])". 
He then lived at 35, rue de Meudon in Billancourt.
In 1912 he presented at the Salon de Dijon Raisins et pommes "Pierre Sanchez, Les salons de Dijon, 1771-1950: catalogue of exhibitors and list of their works, L'Échelle de Jacob, Dijon, 2002, p. 91 (ISBN 2-913224-28-8)".
