Pierre-Michel Alix

Many of his works are now held in the Louvre's Cabinet des estampes and in France's Bibliothèque nationale.

One of the specialists of his era in colour printing, he produced many illustrations of Parisian life and fashion of his own time along with many caricatures.

For example, in 1789, he produced 18 prints of members of the National Constituent Assembly, notably Mirabeau, the Abbé Grégoire, Charles and Alexandre de Lameth and Antoine Barnave, published by Levacher de Charnois.

He also produced printed portraits of Jean-Paul Marat, Pierre Louis Manuel, Marie Joseph Chalier, general Custine, general Dumouriez Antoine Lavoisier and Charlotte Corday.

In 1815, on the Second Restoration, he produced a print of Louis XVIII after a painting by Pasquier and a The King's return on 8 July 1815 after Martinet.
