Georges Merle is the pupil of his father Hugues Merle and of William Bouguereau. He exhibited at the Salon between 1876 and 1886. His studio is located at 63 rue de Lisboa in Paris, next to his father's at n ° 55 of the same street. Painter of remarkable skill, he is particularly appreciated for his subjects of history of Pre-Raphaelite inspiration, notably sublimating women in his neo-medieval and neo-renaissance compositions. Guy de Maupassant in his Chronicles tells us about it as a regular at Étretat where he meets Jules Larcher and Eugène Lepoittevin in particular. In May 1882 he married Mademoiselle Marie Céline Merle in Paris.
