One of the uncontestable masters of our epoch, all of us will be forgotten, but Meissonier will be remembered.-Eugène Delacroix, Painter and Friend of Meissonier
Another one of my icons of painting horses. He was known for his paintings of war, Napoleon's in fact, but is his sketches that I find incredible. I just found this image this evening, and love the way he handled paint, used the wood panel and so new the anatomy of a moving horse.
