	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Ernest Meissonier
		But fame was to be delayed for ten years Meissonier has to earn his living by illustration; and so he made vignettes for a number of works today much sought after as "romantic editions", "Paul et Virginie", Lamartine's "Chûte d'un Ange" (1839), "Le Vicaire de Wakefield", and "Les Français peints par eux-mêmes" (1840- 42).
		Nevertheless it is true that despite superficial resemblances Meissonier is far inferior to the Dutch masters.
		Meissonier, overwhelmed by his materials, never succeeded in producing a great work, and not even in giving the impression that he had clearly conceived one.

	Meissonier Paintings Reproduction and Biography
		Meissonier was immense1y successful with his trite and nigglingly detailed historical paintings and historical genre paintings (particularly scenes from the Napoleonic campaigns) and from the 1840s received the highest official honours, including the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour - he was the first painter to win this award.
		Astonishingly conceited as well as mean-spirited, Meissonier cultivated a huge white beard and liked to be photographed or painted in attitudes of fiercely profound thought, as in his self-portrait of 1889 in the Musée d’Orsay.
		Meissonier had a personal enmity for Courbet and may have been instrumental in inducing the government to impose a fine on him after the suppression of the Commune.

		Meissonier’s success in the auction rooms was accompanied by a chorus of critical praise and – even more unusual for an art world riven by savage rivalries and piffling jealousies – the respect and admiration of his peers.
		Meissonier had purchased the pink-bricked eighteenth-century orangery, which was sometimes known as Le Pavillon Rose, in 1846.
		Meissonier’s most famous painting, though, was The Brawl, a somewhat less decorous scene depicting a fight in a tavern between two men dressed – as usual – in opulent eighteenth-century attire.
