Edouard Detaille
Jean Baptiste Edouard Detaille (1848-1912), a
French Academic painter noted for his precision and realistic detail,
was a student of the great Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissonier. He served
in the French Army in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871 and became
the official painter of the battles. He is famous for having depicted
portraits of soldiers, military manoeuvres, military uniforms and
general military life. His book, L'Armée Française,
containing hundreds of his illustrations and prints, remains definitive
in this realm.
The paintings are the excellent portrayal of the events and scenes
that we see around us. The painters are the best cameras of the
world. They reproduce many different types of pictures. They even
draw imaginary pictures that do not exist in this world. We tend
to use both thinned oil paints and dense oil paints. Masterpieces
can be dyed more than once, but each time it may be different from
the existing paintings.h
