This biography from the Archives of AskART:
| Mr. Brodeur was, during his lifetime, the official State of Connecticut artist, who contributed portraits of many famous people. He also painted the portrait of Alfred Einstein which hangs in the Einstein collection site. Mr. Brodeur and his wife, Marie, met and courted at the Fontainbleau School in France and, when Mrs. Brodeur died, he flew to France with her ashes, and spread them in the woods at the school, where they used to walk together as students. Unfortunately, Mr. Brodeur did not live too many years after his wife's death.
