Emmanuel Pontremoli (13 January 1865 – 25 July 1956) was a French
archaeologist.[1]
Biography
Pontremonli was born in
Beaux-Arts, alongside André Leconte, a former student and winner of the 1927 Prix de Rome.[3] Pontremoli was appointed director of the Beaux-Arts in 1932 and is credited with shepherding the school, whose name had become synonymous with neoclassicism, into the twentieth century.[4]
Pontremoli is best known for his architectural creation of Villa Kerylos for Théodore and Fanny Reinach at Beaulieu-sur-Mer and for the Institute for Human Paleontology in Paris for Albert I, Prince of Monaco.
Family
In 1899, he married Suzanne Hecht (1876-1956), with whom he had three children: Thérèse (1900-1989), Jean (1902-1940) and Michel (1908-1944).
During the
Nazi occupation of France, his sons Michel Pontremoli and Jean Pontremoli enlisted and fought with the French partisan force. In 1944, they both died at the hands of the Nazis.[5]
Pontremoli and his wife collected art.[6] The Avenue Emmanuel Pontremoli in Nice is named in his memory.

Modernity in architecture became apparent with the rise of new programs, new materials such as glass and steel, pure aesthetics, and a special attention to urban planning. The Ecole des Beaux-Arts gradually adapted to these trends. The architect Emmanuel Pontremoli (1865–1956, winner of the Grand Prix in 1890) 'became the author of the mediation between the conservative atmosphere of the Academie des beaux-arts and the more innovative opportunities in teaching material.' He was director from 1932 to 1937
