The painting was done by Carle Vernet and the engraving by Jean Marie Jazet. The aquatint was published in 1826 at the shop of Jazet in Paris. This genuine aquatint measures 39 x 50 cm (plate size) and is in good condition. There is some very light age-toning and an unobtrusive water stain in the upper margin."Vernet was born in Bordeaux. At the age of five, he showed an extraordinary passion for drawing horses, but went throughthe regular academical course as a pupil of his father and of Nicolas-Bernard Lépicié. Strangely, after winning the Prix de Rome (1782), he seemed to lose interest in the occupation, and his father had to recall him from Rome to prevent his entering a monastery. In his "Triumph of Aemilius Paulus", Vernet broke with tradition and drew the horse with the forms he had learned from nature in stables and riding schools. His hunting pieces, races, landscapes, and work as aLithographers were also very popular. Carle's sister was executed by the guillotine during the Revolution. After this, he gave up art.When he again began to produce under the French Directory (1795–1799), his style had changed radically. He started drawing in minute detail battles and campaigns to glorify Napoleon. His drawings of Napoleon's Italian campaign won acclaim as did the Battle of Marengo, and for his Morning of Austerlitz Napoleon awarded him the Legion of Honor, and Louis XVIII of France awarded him the Order of Saint Michael. Afterwards he excelled in hunting scenes and depictions of horses. In addition to being a painter and lithographer, Carle Vernet was an avid horseman. Just days before his death at the age ofSeventy-eight, he was seen racing as if he were a sprightly young man." (Quote Wikipedia)- - - International buyers welcome.
