Paul-Michel Dupuy, was a French painter. Trained in the workshops of Albert Maignan and Léon Bonnat, he participated annually in the Salon des Artistes Français from 1897, where he became part of the jury and obtained the classification of hors-concours, which allowed him to exhibit without going through the selection process.
He was made a knight of the Legion of Honor, and his works are kept in prestigious institutions such as the Luxembourg Museum and the Petit Palais, as well as in various fine arts museums in cities such as Philadelphia, Sydney, Pau, Saint-Étienne, Bourges, Vierzon and Roubaix. Among his most outstanding works are Le Luxembourg, located in the Senate Palace, and Bateliers au port Henri-Quatre, in the Petit Palais. In addition, the Ministry of Agriculture houses his decorative panel entitled Le Blé, along with the decoration of the great hall of that institution.
