A restorer, copyist and dealer, as well as a painter, Michel exhibited at the Salon between 1796 and 1814. Both his subject matter and technique reveal the deep influence of seventeenth-century Dutch landscapes by Koninck and Rembrandt. Michel's dark landscapes and dramatic lighting foreshadow the work of Daumier and Millet. The town of Meaux lies on the Marne, to the north-east of Paris.
