Meissonier (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Meissonier
One of the two was tall and the other Short. The tall man was Colonel Dupressoir, who had directed the manoeuvre. The other, an elderly man, Short of leg, and ruddy of complexion, with a long beard, white and silken, and a singularly expressive eye, was the painter, Meissonier. The latter had achieved his object. Thanks to long insistence and the payment of indemnities, he had brought about the passage of cavalry across that field, in order that he might make studies from nature, needed for a painting then in hand, 1807, of how standing grain looks after it has been crushed and trampled by the onrush of a charge.
