Military paintings produced as military art prints from Jean Louis Ernest Meissonier published by the Military Print Company (military print division of Cranston Fine Arts). Artist
Information: Jean
Louis Ernest Meissonier Born in Lyons on 20th February, 1813, he served for a short period in a chemist
shop but his interest in art quickly became apparent to his parents who arranged
for him to enter the studios of various artists. He first exhibited at the Salon
in 1835 and became a regular exhibitor throughout the 1840's and 1850's showing
various non-military scenes. However, these pictures were enough to establish
his reputation and he was invited by Napoleon 111 to join the Imperial Staff on
the expedition to Italy in 1859. Inspired by what he witnesses, Meissonier began
to paint military scenes from the war such as The Emperor at Solferino, which
was shown at the 1864 Salon, and The Emperor and his staff.
