📕 Excerpt from DetailleMeissonier représente les gigantesques chevauchées impériales, noblement ambitieux d'en résumer en quelques pages la gloire et la grandeur, mais avec l'esthétique et la philosophie des maîtres du siècle de Louis XIV, moins préoccupé d'en montrer l'image sanglante, dou loureuse, et ainsi d'affronter les difficultés de la figuration des mêlées, que de faire oeuvre de portraitiste, merveilleusement habile, du grand capitaine et de ses lieutenants.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
