Gerhardus Emaus de Micault

Gerhardus Emaus de Micault was an artist active during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, with documented professional activity spanning 1789 to 1859. His known artistic output consists primarily of prints, focusing on historical and military narrative subjects.

The content of his work suggests a specialization in recording military encounters and dramatic scenes. Notable examples held in collections include the intense conflict depicted in Capture of a Village (Prise d'un village) and the specific historical documentation found in The Affair near Konigstein (L'Affaire pres de Koenigstein). Other key documented prints, such as Death of a Russian General (Le Mort d'un general russe) and Cavalry and Hay Wagon, further illustrate his engagement with contemporary military life and landscape.

Nine Gerhardus Emaus de Micault prints are represented in major institutional holdings, establishing his significance in the field of historical engraving. His works are preserved in the collections of the National Gallery of Art. As these historical records transition into the public domain due to their age, the images are available as high-quality prints for research and educational access.
