A Life in Paris

From 1868 to 1878, his works were cataloged at the annual Paris Salon under the names Henri-Michel Lévy or Michel Lévy; he adopted the name Henri Michel-Lévy from 1879 onwards. Beyond his painting, he was an art collector whose collection included works by Watteau, Boucher, Fragonard, Delacroix, Hubert Robert, Prud'hon, and Tiepolo. He died in Paris.
