Édouard Amedée Didron was born on 13 October 1836 in Paris.[1] His father was Mr Fiot and his mother, Ms Didron. His uncle, the archeologist and art historian Adolphe Napoléon Didron (1806-1867), adopted him.[1]
Career
He designed the stained glass in the Église Saint-Vincent-de-Paul in Marseille.[2] He also designed stained glass in the Église Sainte-Rosalie in Paris, the Église Saint-Christophe in Cergy, the Église Saint-Ouen in Le Tronquay, the Église Notre-Dame in Neufchâtel-en-Bray, the Cathédrale Saint-Maclou de Pontoise in Pontoise, the Basilica of St. Sernin in Toulouse, the Eglise Notre Dame de Carentan and the Cathédrale Saint-Front de Périgueux in Périgueux.
Additionally, he wrote many books about art.[1] He denounced the "bastardization" of Gothic art, which meant the decoration of bars and private residences with medieval and mock-medieval works.[3] He was also the editor of Annales Archéologiques from 1867 to 1872.[1]
