Description: PLEASE READ SHIPPING DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY BEFORE BUYING! To learn more about us please click on our profile Never surfaced on the antique market of the last 50 years, this watercolor by famous Napoleonic battle and horse artist Carle Vernet is probably one of the latter's cycle of depictions of military uniforms (French and foreign) from the period of the 1st Empire. The depicted horseman is a hussar from the Austrian Hussar regiment no. 2 ("Archduke Joseph"). Antoine Charles Horace (called Carle) Vernet was born in 1758 in Bordeaux as a son of the marine painter Claude Joseph Vernet (1714-1789). Raised in his father's workshop, already as a child, he was eagerly drawing horses. At the age of 11 years Vernet entered the studio of N.B.Lepicie. In 1779 and 1782 he was awarded Rome prizes for historical painting and spent three years in Rome. In 1789 the artist became an agréé of Academia Royale, but never acquired a full membership at the academy. In 1806 he was appointed a painter of War Depot and in 1810 became a member of Institute. The artist died in Paris in 1836. As a first-class horse drawing master Vernet belonged to the beginners of lithography in France (first attempts undertaken in 1816). Especially popular are his scenes of Napoleonic battles. Our additional images show several watercolors by Carle Vernet offered on the international art market in the last years.
