Honoré Théodoric d'Albert de Luynes

Honoré Théodoric Paul Joseph d'Albert de Luynes (born December 15, 1802 in Paris , † December 17, 1867 in Rome ) was a French nobleman from the Alberti family and 8th Duke of Luynes and Chevreuse . He became known as an archaeologist and numismatist .

Life

The Duke of Luynes came from a family of Alberti, originally from Italy, who came to France in the 15th century and settled there. The family had the title of duke since 1619.

The economically independent Luynes not only emerged as a patron of the arts, but also developed into an important archaeologist and numismatist. Although his main interest was in ancient Greek art, especially the Greek vases, on which he published several works, he was also interested in the Phoenician coins, to which he also devoted several works. To do this, he undertook a research trip to Petra and the left bank of the Jordan . On this trip Luynes acquired the Schihan stele, discovered by Félicien de Saulcy in 1851 for 15 gold pieces, and took it with him to France. There he donated it to the Louvre in 1866 .

He had already settled in Italy at an early age, where he co-founded the Instituto di Correspondenza Archeologica in Rome in 1829 , and was its secretary of the French section until 1848. Since 1840 he was an honorary member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences . Because of his merits, he was accepted into the Prussian order Pour le Mérite for science and the arts on January 24, 1853 . In the same year he became an honorary member of the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and in 1856 an honorary member of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Saint Petersburg .
