Joseph Sec
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joseph Sec (1715-1794) was a bourgeois, a Jacobite and a grey penitent[1] from Aix-en-Provence. He was a carpenter.[2].
[edit] Joseph-Sec Mausoleum
In 1792, he completed a cenotaph close to the Saint-Jacques hospital, and it was made a monument historique in 1969[3]. Reminiscent of buildings from the French Revolution, it echoes the New Testament and Freemasonry. Joseph Sec was probably helped by Barthélémy Chardigny, who seemingly made some bas-reliefs[2].
The mausoleum can be found at 8, avenue Pasteur, à Aix-en-Provence.
