Carle Vernet was a prominent French painter who specialised in military and equestrian scenes. Born in Bordeaux in 1758, he was the son of a successful painter, Joseph Vernet. Carle studied under his father and became skilled in landscape painting, but later turned to the depiction of horses and cavalry. Vernet gained recognition for his work during the French Revolution, when he painted military scenes celebrating the achievements of the French army. He also painted portraits of Napoleon Bonaparte and other military leaders. In addition to his military paintings, Vernet was also known for his humorous depictions of everyday life, such as his series "Les Metiers" (The Trades), which satirised various professions. Vernet's work was highly regarded during his lifetime and he was awarded the Legion of Honour by Napoleon in 1808. He continued to paint until his death in Paris in 1836, leaving a legacy as one of the most important painters of his time.
