French archaeologist and historian Prosper Mérimée died #OTD in 1870.
Though Mérimée is considered part of the Romantic movement, his writing style often contains elements of Realism. He is best known for his novella Carmen (1845), which inspired Georges Bizet's famous opera of the same name. Aside from his literary achievements, Mérimée had a deep interest in history and archaeology.

1. Prosper Mérimée photographié par Charles Reutlinger. In the portrait, Mérimée is dressed in formal attire typical of the period, wearing a dark, well-tailored suit with a high-collared shirt and cravat. His face bears a serious, contemplative expression, with eyes that suggest a man of deep thought. His white or graying hair, neatly styled, frames his face, and his thick, neatly groomed sideburns and mustache give him a distinguished look.
