Meissonier, his life and his art . -ness will protect it, if need be. Now, my dear Sir, let me end by offering you my wished to have it, and I have had great pleasure in painting itmyself for you. It will speak to you of me more intimately thanI can do, and will remind you how sincerely I am yours, E. They are wheeling, they are about to march past the whirlwind circles round him. I exhausted all the riches ofmy palette in the rendering of this manoeuvre, and yet, the dominantnote in the picture is the figure of the Emperor in the middledistance. In /So/, the Emperor is no longer in motion himself, as in the/ygS in Italy. He has become the pivot of Europe; it is notonly his army, but the world that circles round him. I have often thought of painting /So/ in distemper, on a verylarge scale. ... Written by Meissonier to Mr. Stewart of New York, the purcliaser of /So/. On thedeath of Mr. Stewart the picture was bought by Judge Hill, and by him presented to theMetropohtan Museum. :S s.
