Emile Jean-Horace Vernet was the grandson of leading French landscape painter, Claude-Joseph Vernet (1714–1789). Vernet enjoyed great success during his lifetime, receiving important commissions from esteemed patrons, most notably Louis-Philippe, duc d'Orléans, later King of France. During the 1820s, Vernet was made an officier of the Légion d'honneur and a member of the Institut de France, and following his success at the Paris Salon in 1826 and 1827, he was appointed Director of the French Academy in Rome, a position he held until 1835.
