*************

Louis-Michel van Loo (2 March 1707 � 20 March 1771) was a French painter.

He studied under his father, the painter Jean-Baptiste van Loo, at Turin and Rome, and he won a prize at the Acad�mie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in Paris in 1725. With his uncle, the painter Charles-Andr� van Loo, he went to Rome in 1727�1732, and in 1736 he became court painter to Philip V of Spain at Madrid, where he was a founder-member of the Academy in 1752. He returned to Paris in 1753, and painted many portraits of Louis XV of France. In 1765 he succeeded Charles-Andr� as director of the special school of the French academy known as the �cole Royale des �l�ves Prot�g�s. In 1766 he made the portrait of the Portuguese statesman Sebasti�o de Melo, Marquis of Pombal.

Among his brothers were the painters Fran�ois van Loo (1708�1732) and Charles-Am�d�e-Philippe van Loo (1719�1795).
