in spite of his poverty; he loved Adelaide de Rouville, and the passion being reciprocated, he married her. (The Purse) Being associated with Pierre Grassou, he gave him excellent advice, which this indifferent artist was scarceley able to profit by. (Pierre Grassou) In 1822, the Comte de Serizy employed Schinner to decorate the chateau of Presles; Joseph Bridau, who was trying his hand, completed the master's work, and even, in a passing fit of levity, appropriated his name. (A Start in Life) Schinner was mentioned in the autobiographical novel of Albert Savarus, "L'Ambitieux par Amour." (Albert Savarus) He was the friend of Xavier Rabourdin. (The Government Clerks) He drew vignettes for the works of Canalis. (Modeste Mignon) To him we owe the remarkable ceilings of Adam Laginski's house situated on the rue de la Pepiniere.
