Paintings by Charles-Henry's grandfather

Here are some examples of Charles-Henri Michel's paintings. He was my friend Charles-Henry's grandfather. Charles-Henri was born in 1817 and died in 1905. Charles-Henry was born in 1924 in Paris and passed away on February 2, 2024, in Arlington VA at age 99. I met Charles-Henry in Washington DC in 1983. I worked with him for 4½ years, and we remained friends for the rest of his life.

Le trio (1889) by Charles-Henri Michel has been part of
the collections of the Péronne museum for many
years. A cousin of Charles-Henry's donated it to the
museum some 50 or 60 years ago.

Joan of Arc in her prison in Rouen, a pen-and-ink drawing
from about 1900 by Charles-Henri Michel. Donated in July 2010
by the artist's grandson to the Musée des Beaux Arts in the city of Rouen, in
Normandy, where Joan of Arc was burned at the stake in 1431.

Portrait of Joan of Arc (ca. 1900) by Charles-Henri Michel.
It has has been part of the collections of the Péronne museum
since 1951. It is hanging on a wall over a staircase in the
museum, and my photo shows reflections of the banister,
as well as of other paintings displayed nearby.

A portrait (ca. 1900) of Charles-Henry's first cousins Geneviève et André
Michel by Charles-Henri Michel, donated by Charles-Henry to the
museum in Péronne in July 2010. The artist was
about 83 years old when he painted this.

Portrait of an angel, date unknown, by Charles-Henri Michel.
Donated to the Péronne museum in July 2010 by the artist's grandson Charles-Henry.

Christ au tombeau (1882) by Charles-Henri Michel. On display
in Saint John's church (L'Eglise St-Jean) in Péronne since 1951.
Charles-Henry told me that his father, Dr. Paul Michel, then in his early 20s,
was the model for this painting.
