This is the only reference I found about Marcellin. Unfortunately it is in german, so I will try to tell something about the book (note that I have not read it, I just speak german and read the article) . It's written by a guy named Viktor Farkas (never heard of him) and is about these "strange but true incidents". One of the incidents described is abaout the painter Andre Marcellin, dies 1914. The story is almost the same as posted by Confinedinsanity, but in the book there are also events described that happened after Andre's dead. People died after buying one of his paintings, a house burned down and only his painting remained etc.....
Well, in my opinion it's just a story to earn money, since those books always sell good^^, and as I said before, there is no other trace of Marcellin on the web, so I think Farkas just made up the hole story.
