Horace Emile Jean Vernet was a French artist who captured historical and military events in his paintings. In addition, he was also active as a lithographer. Vernet received a main part of his artistic education from his father Antoine Charles Horace and from his grandfather Jean-Michel Moreau. He gained further practical experience with the French painter François-André Vincent. As a military painter, Horace Emile Jean Vernet captured military conflicts and their effects in paintings. On the one hand, the paintings offered a glimpse of the action and were a way of reporting the events of the time. On the other hand, the stylistic devices of the pictures show that they were also about propaganda and ideological motivation. In 1814, Horace Emile Jean Vernet himself was present at the wars of conquest under Napoleon. Under the French general Bon-Adrien-Jeannot de Moncey, Vernet experienced the defense of the Clichy barrier firsthand. His impressions of the experience were incorporated into his painting "Defense de la barrière Clichy", which was created in 1820. Most of his military works depict the French soldiers in a highly idealized way. In a few works of art, he deviates from this type of depiction and shows the soldiers in a less stylized manner.
He then went on a study trip to Italy with his father. Traveling became one of his passions. In 1839 he set out on a trip to the Orient with one of his students. After his return, a special development helped him to achieve great artistic success: Vernet's battle paintings had made a lasting impression on King Louis Philippe, so that he supported him as a patron. The French painter's popularity increased greatly thanks to this development. In 1836 and 1845, Vernet went to Russia, where he produced portraits of the tsar's family. Throughout his career, Vernet accepted numerous commissions from famous people and many of his paintings adorned the Palace of Versailles. One of his hobbies was the daguerreotype, an early form of photography. He used photographs of his travels and experiences as the basis for his works. Unfortunately, many of the photographs no longer exist today. In the last phase of his life, the artist suffered a severe blow of fate. He was seriously injured in a riding accident. The consequences of the injury meant that he had to stop his artistic work. Vernet then died in Paris in 1863 at the age of 73.
