Meissonier, [1891].

Paul Mantz wrote this 9-page article upon the death of Jean Louis Ernest Meissonier in January 31, 1891. His compact presentation covers Meissonier's affinity for the style and subjects of the 17th century Dutch and Flemish masters; the artist's peculiar aloofness from contemporary French art and life; the pifalls of his perfectionism in draftsmanship; the unexpected commercial success of his works; his important assignments; and his patriotism.
