He was born in Poitiers on 14 May 1846.[4] He was a childhood friend of Armand Guillaumin, who introduced him to the impressionists.[5] He was an apprentice pastry chef at Grû at 8 Rue du Faubourg-Montmartre and 125 Faubourg Poissonnière.[6][7]
He ran a patisserie at 95 Boulevard Voltaire, where he invited, for "Tuesday-dinner", young artists, collectors, and established artists. Renoir, Sisley, Monet, Cézanne, Gachet, Vincent and Theo Van Gogh, Père Tanguy, art dealers Louis Legrand and Alphonse Portier, Goeneutte, Guillaumin, Vignon, Pierre Franc-Lamy, and Pissarro were among his guests.[8] British art historian Colin B. Bailey notes that Murer's diary from this time contains a sad entry about the suicide of Vincent van Gogh that demands further study.[4]
He died in Auvers-sur-Oise, where he was a neighbour of Gachet,[1] on 22 April 1906.[9] He lived on 39 rue Victor Massé, Paris, above a carpenter and art supply dealer called Michel, where he bought his paints.[8] The Musée d'Orsay owns one of his paintings, L'Oise at Isle-Adam, from 1903.[10]
