Born in [[Mitau]], [[Duchy of Courland and Semigallia]] (now [[Jelgava|Jelgava, Latvia]], 1918 name change), Damel (Damelis) studied art at Vilna University under [[Jan Rustem]] and [[Franciszek Smuglewicz]], receiving a degree in 1809. He lived in [[Vilnius]] (Wilno) until, to accusations of involvement in forgeries by [[Ignacy Julian Cejzyk]], he was convicted and from 1820 to at least 1823 he was in exile in Siberia in [[Tobolsk]].{{citation needed|date=October 2024}} Upon his release he lived in [[St. Petersburg]] and [[Minsk]]. He is considered one of the most prominent historical artists of the neoclassicist genre working in present-day [[Belarus]].<ref name=unesco/><ref>{{cite book|title=Handbuch der Geschichte Weissrusslands|author=Dietrich Beyrau, Rainer Lindner|publisher=[[Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht]]|year=2001|isbn=978-3-525-36255-6|page=124|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=iZ2o-cTSLKAC&q=%22jan+damel%22+maler&pg=PA124|language=de}}</ref>

His works include paintings of historic events (the [[Kościuszko Uprising]], [[Napoleon]]'s army in Vilnius, the death of [[Ulrich von Jungingen]] during the [[Battle of Grunwald]], and the [[Battle of Vienna]]), portraits, drawings, and religious compositions. Among his successful students was [[Michał Kulesza]].
