Carle Vernet (1758 – 1836) was born in Bordeaux, France He was a French painter of sporting subjects and of battle scenes for Napoleon I. he’s noted for painting horses for King Louis XVIII. Hs father, Joseph Vernet, was a very popular landscapist and he became one his first great influencers. Early in his life, Vernet exhibited a gift for painting and he came to develop a keen eye for natural detail. He could easily pick little details that most people could easily ignore, including other professional artists. Although he was commanded by Napoleon to paint vast battle scenes, such as Marengo, his real heart and talent lied in intimate genre and in drawing rather than for painting. Apart from his father, he was also taught by Nicolas-Bernard Lépicié. His work as a lithographer, hunting-pieces, landscapes, and races were very popular. And his long series of fashionable studies were reproduced by the best engravers of the time. They often satirized contemporary costume and manners. Vernet became court painter to Louis XVIII after the restoration of the monarchy. In 1782 he won the grand prix, and after that his father recalled him back to France from Rome to prevent him from entering a monastery. Vernet received many awards including the Legion of Honour by Napoleon, and the Order of Saint Michael by Louis XVIII of France. Today, his art is much sought after, especially the ready to hang Carle Vernet art. He excelled in depictions of horses and was an avid horseman.
