Life
Born in Cologne, de Noël learned drawing and oil painting from Benedikt Beckenkamp after completing his commercial training in his hometown with Egidius Mengelberg and Caspar Arnold Grein . After this training, he spent a long time in Rome and Paris to devote himself entirely to painting. After the death of his father, de Noël returned to Cologne to continue his parents' business.
In 1828 de Noël became the curator of Cologne's first municipal museum, the Wallrafianum , which later became the Cologne Wallraf-Richartz Museum . There he took over the care of the legacy of his friend Ferdinand Franz Wallraf, bequeathed to the city of Cologne, from curator Fuchs . His own extensive art collection later became the basis of the Cologne Museum of Decorative Arts .
As a writer he participated in the renewal of the Cologne Carnival . He is also one of three authors responsible for the art-historical part of the first Cologne city guide from 1828.
Matthias Joseph de Noël died on November 18, 1849 and was buried in Cologne in the Melaten cemetery (lit. D).
In the Cologne-Sülz district , “De-Noël-Platz” was named after him.
