EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph print captures the likeness of Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissonier, a renowned French painter and sculptor of the 19th century. The portrait was created between 1878 and 1879 by the Italian artist Vincenzo Gemito. Meissonier is depicted standing confidently with a serious expression, dressed in formal attire, and holding a palette and paintbrushes in his right hand, signifying his profession as a painter. In his left hand, he cradles a sculpture, highlighting his dual talent as a sculptor. Born in Strasbourg, France, in 1815, Meissonier rose to prominence in the art world for his meticulously detailed and historically accurate paintings and sculptures. His works often depicted scenes from ancient Rome and the Napoleonic Wars. This portrait by Gemito, a contemporary of Meissonier, showcases the artist's mastery of the medium of photography. The large-format camera used to capture the image would have required a significant amount of time and technical expertise. The resulting print, with its sharp contrast and intricate details, is a testament to the artist's skill. The Standing Portrait of Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissonier is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), located in California, USA. The museum, which opened in 1965, is dedicated to collecting and preserving art from all continents and time periods. The addition of this portrait to its collection further enriches LACMA's European art holdings and adds to the heritage of art history.
