Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissonier (1815–1891) was a prominent French Classicist painter and sculptor, celebrated for his meticulous attention to detail and his masterful depictions of historical and military subjects. Born in Lyon, France, Meissonier demonstrated an early aptitude for art, which led him to study under the tutelage of Jules Potier and Léon Cogniet. His career began with illustrations for books and magazines, but he soon transitioned to painting, where he found his true calling.

Meissonier's works are renowned for their precision and the painstaking effort he invested in achieving historical accuracy. He often conducted extensive research, including studying period costumes, weaponry, and even the landscapes of his subjects, to ensure his paintings were as authentic as possible. This dedication earned him a reputation as one of the foremost painters of his time, particularly in the genre of military art.

Among his most famous works are "Friedland, 1807," which captures the intensity of Napoleon's victory at the Battle of Friedland, and "The Campaign of France," which portrays the hardships faced by Napoleon's army during the 1814 campaign. These paintings are celebrated not only for their historical significance but also for their dynamic compositions and the lifelike quality of their figures.

Meissonier's influence extended beyond his paintings; he was also a respected teacher and a member of the Institut de France. His contributions to the art world were recognized with numerous awards and honors, including the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor. Despite the changing tastes in art towards the end of the 19th century, Meissonier's legacy as a meticulous and dedicated artist endures, and his works continue to be studied and admired for their technical brilliance and historical fidelity.
