Le tambour blessé - Vernet, 1820
Summary
Deux portraits d'hommes de profil, coiffés, l'un d'un bicorne, l'autre d'un shako.
Horace Vernet (1789–1863) was a French painter of sporting subjects and vast battle panoramas, notably those in the Gallery of Battles at Versailles. The son and grandson, respectively, of two well-known painters, Carle Vernet and Joseph Vernet, Horace developed a remarkable facility for working on a grand scale and became one of France’s most important military painters.
