Michel Philibert Genod (20 September 1795, Lyon - 24 July 1862, Lyon) was a French genre and history painter in the Troubador style.
He was born while Lyon was still recovering from the effects of the Siege. He studied with Pierre Revoil from 1807 to 1813.
He held his first exhibit at the Salon in 1819. Some of his works were purchased by Charles Ferdinand, Duke of Berry. King Louis XVIII is said to have told him, "Not only do you speak to the eyes, but you speak mainly to the heart". He was also awarded a second-class medal. He was sometimes referred to as the "Greuze of Lyon".
In 1839, he was appointed a professor at the École des beaux-arts de Lyon, a position he held until his death.
In 1845, he completed several paintings by his teacher, Revoil, dealing with the history of Pharamond, that Revoil had begun shortly before his death.
He was named a Knight in the Legion of Honor in 1855, after a successful showing at the Exposiiton Universelle. [1] At the Salon of 1857, his depiction of a flood in Brotteaux was purchased by Napoleon III. He had several students; notably Fleury Chenu.

Taking its name from medieval troubadours, the Troubadour Style is a rather derisive term, in English usually applied to French historical painting of the early 19th century with idealised depictions of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. In French it also refers to the equivalent architectural styles. It can be seen as an aspect of Romanticism and a reaction against Neoclassicism, which was coming to an end at the end of the Consulate, and became particularly associated with Josephine Bonaparte and Caroline Ferdinande Louise, duchesse de Berry. In architecture the style was an exuberant French equivalent to the Gothic Revival of the Germanic and Anglophone countries. The style related to contemporary developments in French literature, and music, but the term is usually restricted to painting and architecture.

Second Empire style, also known as the Napoleon III style, is a highly eclectic style of architecture and decorative arts originating in the Second French Empire. It was characterized by elements of many different historical styles, and also made innovative use of modern materials, such as iron frameworks and glass skylights. It flourished during the reign of Emperor Napoleon III (1852–1870) and had an important influence on architecture and decoration in the rest of Europe and North America. Major examples of the style include the Opéra Garnier (1862–1871) in Paris by Charles Garnier, the Institut National d'Histoire de l'Art, the Church of Saint Augustine (1860–1871), and the Philadelphia City Hall (1871–1901). The architectural style was closely connected with Haussmann's renovation of Paris carried out during the Second Empire; the new buildings, such as the Opéra, were intended as the focal points of the new boulevards.

Martin Dumollard was a French serial killer condemned to the guillotine after having been arrested and charged with the deaths of maids from 1855 to 1861. His victims were approached in Lyon by Dumollard, who offered them a nice house in Côtière. Convinced, they would eventually follow him and, during their wanderings on foot, he attacked them. All twelve assaults or attempted assaults occurred in the late 1850s and early 1860s until that of Marie Pichon on May 28, 1861. He was quickly arrested, along with his wife and accomplice, Marie-Anne Martinet, who stole the personal belongings and used them for resale. Their trial took place from January 29 to February 1, 1862: Dumollard was sentenced to death and his wife, twenty years of penal labour. This affair, which preceded that of Joseph Vacher by about thirty years, had a great repercussion in France; it is often considered one of the first cases of a serial killer in France. Dumollard is notably mentioned in Les Misérables by Victor Hugo.
