Napoleonic Cavalry prints by Edouard Detaille showing French cavalry regiments Carabiniers, Dragoons, Hussars, Grenadiers a Cheval and Cuirassiers. Napoleonic military prints published by the Military Print Company (Division of Cranston Fine Arts military prints). Jean Baptiste Edouard Detaille Born in Paris on 5th October, 1847, the young Detaille was surrounded by military figures from his grandfather who had worked as a sutler responsible for organising Napoleon's transports, to a great aunt who had married Admiral Villeneuve. Nonetheless, his only ambition was to be an artist and he let it be known that he wished to study with Cabanel but through various circumstances ended up in the great Meissonier's studio. It was in 1867 that the young artist first exhibited a picture, showing a view of Meissonier's studio but in the following year he showed his first military piece. While it was based solely on imagination, The Drummer's Halt represented a scene from the French Revolution. This was to be the beginning of a glorious career painting many military scenes from French history. |
