description: "Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissonier was a French academic painter and sculptor. He became famous for his depictions of Napoleon and his military sieges and manoeuvres in paintings acclaimed both for the artist's mastery of fine detail and his assiduous craftsmanship. The English art critic John Ruskin examined his work at length under a magnifying glass, \"marvelling at Meissonier's manual dexterity and eye for fascinating minutiae.\" Meissonier enjoyed great success in his lifetime, becoming, with Gérôme and Cabanel, one of \"the three most successful artists of the Second Empire.\""
