- Sobre arteLes 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. - Sobre artistaGeorges Michel nasceu em 12 de janeiro de 1763 em Paris. Seu pai era funcionário da Les Halles, o grande mercado central de Paris. Michel teve muitos patrocinadores ao longo de sua vida e até uma exposição no Salão de Paris, mas não conseguiu se tornar um renomado artista independente: trabalhou como copista e restaurador. A obra de Michel concentra-se em paisagens rurais dentro e ao redor de Paris. Os pintores de paisagens holandeses foram uma grande influência para ele. Michel faleceu em 7 ou 8 de junho de 1843. Hoje em dia suas obras, tanto a óleo quanto a aquarela, fazem parte das coleções de muitos museus, como o Victoria and Albert museum, em Londres.
