EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the young and ambitious Edouard Detaille, a French artist, in his studio during the 1860s at the age of 18. Born in Paris in 1848, Detaille was a prolific academic painter and military artist, renowned for his meticulous attention to detail and historical accuracy.

He began his artistic training at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he studied under some of the greatest masters of the time. However, it was his passion for military history that truly set him apart. He spent countless hours studying military uniforms, weapons, and battle scenes, which would later become the focus of his most famous works. The photograph offers a rare glimpse into the life of this talented young artist, who would go on to become one of the most celebrated military painters of his time. Detaille's works were highly sought after by collectors and institutions, and he was awarded numerous accolades for his contributions to French art. This photograph serves as a testament to his early dedication and the promise of a brilliant artistic career.
