(Yvonne Thiéry, ''Le paysage flamand au XVII. siècle'', 1953); Thiéry notes (p.xi) the manner of Jan Brueghel the Elder (1568-1625) as having shaped Michau's style; Gustav Friedrich Waagen detected the manner of Pieter Bout (Waagen, "The Decline of Art", in ''Handbook of Painting: The German, Flemish, and Dutch schools'' vol. 2 1860:502).〕 Flemish painter of landscapes, more famous in his own time than he is today.〔"Michau's landscapes with cattle and figures are of frequent occurrence in public sales, but do not obtain high prices" (Michael Bryan, ''Dictionary of Painters and Engravers, biographical and critical'', 1849 ''s.v.''
