- Über KunstwerkLes Environs de Montmartre by Georges Michel (1763-1843)
Michel was born in Paris. His father was an employee at Les Halles, a large marketplace in the central part of the city. Michel's first patron, at a very early age, was a certain Monsieur de Chalue. His first painting teacher was one Leduc, a history painter, and later Michel studied under Nicolas-Antoine Taunay. Although he exhibited at the Paris Salon, he failed to achieve recognition and earned his living by working as copyist and restorer; he specialized in Dutch paintings and was helped in business by Élisabeth-Louise Vigée-Le Brun's husband.
Most of Michel's work concentrates on rural landscapes in the area around Paris. He was influenced by Dutch landscape painters such as Jacob van Ruisdael and Meindert Hobbema. Michel worked in oil and watercolor with equal facility.
He was forgotten for decades after his death; the first large exhibition of his work was presented by the Parisian Jean Charpentier hotel, in 1927. Today his works are found in museums around the world, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Portland Art Museum, Vanderbilt University Gallery, Strasbourg Musée des Beaux-Arts, Victoria and Albert Museum, and many others. - Über KünstlerGeorges Michel was born on January 12, 1763 in Paris. His father was an employee at Les Halles, the large central marketplace of Paris. Michel has had many patrons throughout his life and even an exhibition at the Paris Salon, yet he failed to become a renowned independent artist: he worked as a copyist and restorer. Michel’s oeuvre concentrates on rural landscapes in and around Paris. Dutch landscape painters were a big influence on him. Michel passed away either on June 7 or 8, 1843. Nowadays his work, both oil works and watercolour works, are part of the collections of many museums, such as the Victoria and Albert museum in London.
