life and work
Jean Brunet was a church window painter in Avignon and on May 21, 1854 one of the seven founders of Félibrige, in whose yearbook L'Armana Provençau, begun in 1855, he published Provencal poems. He became majoral (academician) of Félibrige in 1876. The phraseological dictionary of Neo-Provençal he had tackled remained a fragment.
Brunet's wife Cécile was the godmother of Stéphane Mallarmé's daughter Geneviève (born November 19, 1864 in Tournon) in autumn 1865, the addressee of Mallarmé's poem Sainte . (From Tournon Mallarmé had close ties with Félibrige and stayed in Avignon several times before teaching English there from 1867 to 1871.)
In Avignon there is a college named after Brunet.
