Gerardus Emaus de Micault was an artist whose documented career spanned the middle decades of the nineteenth century, active from 1813 through 1863. His known output consists exclusively of prints, primarily focusing on two genres: military subjects and detailed landscapes.

De Micault’s work is represented in major Dutch collections, establishing his place within the history of nineteenth-century printmaking. Five of his prints are preserved in the permanent collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. These works demonstrate a mix of thematic interests, ranging from detailed depictions of military action, such as Cavalerie tijdens een veldslag and Groetende officier, to contemplative natural scenes.

The majority of the artist’s known works are landscapes, including Landschap met een ruïne, Landschap met kasteel, and Landschap met beuk en jager. These works emphasize natural elements and architectural studies typical of the period. The documentation of Gerardus Emaus de Micault prints within institutional holdings provides crucial insight into his style. Today, many of these historical records and associated high-quality prints are available through public domain collections, offering researchers and enthusiasts broad access to downloadable artwork for study.
