After a long sickness, Michel Jacq-Hergoualc'h died on April 28, 2015. In recent years he had withdrawn from his studies of Southeast Asia, but he still left an impressive body of work beyond that on the history of art, which he taught at the University of Paris III (where he held the chair formerly held by Bruno Dagens). There he contributed to the training of many students, and directed the theses of many researchers currently at work (including two in the EFEO). He was also director of research at the CNRS.
In Brittany he studied history and geography before moving to Paris III in 1988 to complete, under the direction of Jean Boisselier, a thesis on art and archaeology in seventeenth-century France and Siam. He went on to publish various works on historical and cultural relationships between France and Siam, but his most noted works remain his two matchless contributions to "L'armement et l'organisation de l'armée khmère aux XIIe et XIIIe siècles d'après les bas-reliefs d'Angkor Vat, du Bayon et de Banteay Chmar" [Weapons and organization of the Khmer army of the 12th and 13th centuries, according to reliefs at Angkor Wat, the Bayon, and Banteay Chmar], (Paris: Presses Universitaires de France, Publications du Musée Guimet, 1979; translated into English in 2007), and "The Malay Peninsula: Crossroads of the Maritime Silk Road (100 BC-1300 AD)", (Leiden: Brill, 2002).
In 2007 Michel Jacq-Hergoualc'h turned over to the EFEO photo-library his complete photographic collection (some 6,500 prints).
