Michel Particelli d'Emery

Michel Particelli d'Émery (6 June 1596 in Lyon – 25 May 1650 in Paris) was the son of a banker in Lyon, France.

Originally from an Italian family of Lucca, Italy, he was the counsellor of Cardinal-Duke of Richelieu.

A portrait of him was changed by Théophile-Abraham Hamel to give a face to Samuel de Champlain.

According to the Archives Canada site, d'Émery's face was used to represent Champlain for more than a century and is still used by many historians to represent Champlain.
