Michel-Jean Cazabon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michel-Jean Cazabon (September 20, 1813 - November 20, 1888) is regarded as the first great Trinidad painter. The son of Francis Cazabon, a mulatto planter from Martinique, Michel-Jean Cazabon was born on his parents' estate near San Fernando. He was educated at St Edmund's College in Ware, England, and later in Paris where he went to study medicine but switched to art.
In 1850 he returned to Trinidad with his French wife and their daughters. In 1860 he migrated to Martinique, but returned to Trinidad in 1870.
His work was displayed in the Salon de Louvre in Paris in 1839 and 1843-1847.
