A friend sent me this wonderful drawing by Édouard Detaille of Napoleon and Murat in Russia in 1812. It’s from an old issue of Cavalier et Roi, a journal that the Amis de Musée Murat used to publish. I’ve never seen it published anywhere else before.

Édouard Bisson

Occasionally one, even the most pretentious of art appreciators, wants to just revel in something pretty. That's how I feel with Édouard Bisson's (1856–1939) work. It's pure romanticism celebrating captivating female beauty in a fin de siècle aesthetic. Women emerge from these soft magical surroundings, as their billowing gowns defy gravity. Nymphs are greeted by reoccurring putti. Even the portraits grounded in a more "realistic" (and I use this term loosely) setting. Tropical or softly-blended backgrounds are transplanted behind these sitters, their dresses caught as if in a breeze. These scenes are transportantional in their touch of magic.

Bisson studied under Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824-1904). One can recognise the traits he developed under his tutelage, such as the aspect of the less-than-accurate representation of reality dominant in the Orientalism movement.

Specializing in figurative genre painting, and some mythological scenes, Bisson held a successful career. He become a member of the Salon and received numerous awards and critical acclaim over the years.
