Michel Jean Cazabon (1813-1888) Born at Corinth Estate, San Fernando, in 1813, Michel Jean Cazabon’s family were members of the free coloured community that migrated from Martinique to Trinidad. Fluent in French and English, the renowned painter was educated at St. Edmund’s College, Ware, England, and then in Paris where he studied art under the tutelage of Paul Delaroche and Michel-Martin Drolling, among others. Painting landscapes, seascapes and portraits in mostly oil and watercolour, his work was exhibited at the Salon du Louvre in 1839 and then annually from 1843 to 1847. His work has been part of several collections at home and abroad including the ‘Lord Harris’ Collection. Trinidad cover image: Sunlit Valley (Diego Martin Valley from Fort George)
