6. True Sight

On 12 May 1921, at 5:30 a.m., it [i.e., his death] was determined at 2 rue Ambroise‐Paré, Léon Angély, living at 49 rue Gabrielle, born on 16 November 1848, legal clerk. [Clerc d’avoué.] Son of Annette Angély, deceased. Unmarried. Drawn up on 13 May 1921, 12:00 p.m. by the declaration of Louis Lemigout, 36 years old, and of Maurice Petit, 28, employees at 2 rue Ambroise‐Paré, who have read and signed with us: Charles Veil, adjutant at the town hall of the tenth arrondissement of Paris. (1921 death certificate, Couteau translation)
 
Picasso once remarked: “In any age, there are only a handful who can truly see.” Clearly, Père Angély was one of them.
