Condizione: Fine. Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissonier (French: [ʒɑ̃ lwi ɛʁnɛst mɛsɔnje]; 21 February 1815 - 31 January 1891) was a French academic painter and sculptor. He became famous for his depictions of Napoleon and his military sieges and manoeuvres in paintings acclaimed both for the artist's mastery of fine detail and his assiduous craftsmanship. The English art critic John Ruskin examined his work at length under a magnifying glass, "marvelling at Meissonier's manual dexterity and eye for fascinating minutiae."[1] Meissonier enjoyed great success in his lifetime, becoming, with Gérôme and Cabanel, one of "the three most successful artists of the Second Empire."[2] Meissonier's work commanded enormous prices and in 1846 he purchased a great mansion in Poissy, sometimes known as the Grande Maison. The Grande Maison included two large studios, the atelier d'hiver, or winter workshop, situated on the top floor of the house, and at ground level, a glass-roofed annexe, the atelier d'été or summer workshop. Meissonier himself said that his house and temperament belonged to another age, and some, like the critic Paul Mantz for example, criticised the artist's seemingly limited repertoire. Like Alexandre Dumas, he excelled at depicting scenes of chivalry and masculine adventure against a backdrop of pre-Revolutionary and pre-industrial France, specialising in scenes from seventeenth- and eighteenth-century 302 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from French Campaign, 1814) French Campaign, 1814 Campagne de France, 1814 (French) Artist Ernest Meissonier Year 1860-1864 Medium Oil on wood Dimensions 51.5 cm × 76.5 cm (20.3 in × 30.1 in) Location Musée d'Orsay, Paris Description French Campaign, 1814 (French: Campagne de France, 1814, alternative title: 1814) is an oil on wood painting by French painter Ernest Meissonier, created between 1860 and 1864. French Campaign, 1814 is one of the best-known artworks of Meissonier, and it is part of his Napoleonic cycle of paintings, with 1807, Friedland and The Morning of Castiglione (unfinished). It represents Napoleon Bonaparte leading his troops during the grim retreat of the French Campaign of 1814.[1]: 68 When the painting was sold in 1890, it reached a record price for a painting by a contemporary artist. It is currently housed in the Musée d'Orsay, Paris. According to the art historian Constance Hungerford, Meissonier's work reflects the somber realities of Napoleon's final military campaign, emphasizing themes of loss, resilience, and patriotism.[2]: 211.
