Merigot was a landscape artist and master drawing teacher in Paris in 1772, when he instructed the accomplished artist Augustus Charles Pugin, and later his son Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin, the designer of British Houses of Parliament. Merigot moved to London sometime after 1791 and established himself there as a drawing master and publisher of aquatint etchings that appeared in numerous British publications. His 1816 publication of The Amateur's Portfolio, or the New Drawing Magazine became an inspiration for a new generation of British and Continental artists.
