He was regarded as the "semi-official artist of the French army." "Detaille est un des peintres les plus populaires de l'école française du XIXe siècle. Peintre quasi officiel de l'armée française, Detaille s'est fait remarquer à la fois par l'ampleur de ses compositions et par le soin dont il témoigne dans l'exactitude des détails." (Bénézit).
