Lot 1706 | Ernest Meissonier
(1815 Lyon - 1891 Paris) Aufmarschierende Kavallerie Blick auf ein in weiter, hügeliger Landschaft reitendes Eskadron, wohl der Grande Armée während der Napoleonischen Kriege, mit Soldaten auf teilw. schnell galoppierenden Pferden. Trotz des relativ kleinen Formats gelingt es Meissonier durch die virtuose Feinmalerei mit Bravour einen lebendigen Ausdruck der Pferde, Figuren und der Bewegung zu vermitteln. Der Künstler lernte im Atelier des Malers Léon Cogniet und wurde insbesondere durch seine mit Raffinement gemalten Darstellungen aus der aktuellen französischen Militärgeschichte und der Feldzüge Napoleon I. und Napoleon III. berühmt. Hierdurch wurden ihm höchste offizielle Ehrungen zuteil - darunter die Aufnahme in die Ehrenlegion mit Ernennung bis zum Großkreuzträger. Öl/Holztafel. Rechts unten Ligatur-Monogramm "EM;" mit gespiegeltem "M". Verso Galerie-Etikett des 19. Jahrhunders mit typographischer Bezeichnung "TABLEAUX MODERNES (/) TESDESCO FRÈRES (/) EXPERTS (/) 33, AVEN(UE DE L"O)PERA PARIS" und Sammler-Etikett in Kyrillsch. 23 cm x 29 cm. Rahmen. Oil on panel. Monogrammed. 19th century gallery label from Tedesco Frères, Paris, and old collector"s label inscribed in Cyrillic.
