Amidst the seething artistic climate of the 19th century, French artist and illustrator Henri Félix Emmanuel Philippoteaux (1815-1884) unleashed his unique creative vision. Best known as a battle painter, Philippoteaux translated the turmoil and chaos of war into vivid, detailed, and impressively realistic works of art. Our endeavor is to reflect his vivid images with the highest quality and detail in the form of fine art prints. Born in the bustling cultural city of Paris, Philippoteaux began his artistic training in the studio of Léon Cogniet and first showed his work at the Paris Salon in 1833. During his remarkable career, he created a number of impressive works, including a depiction of the siege of Paris during the Franco-Prussian War. This masterpiece, painted in the form of a cyclorama, offered the viewer an immersive 360-degree view of the dramatic action of the war. The ability to create such lifelike and emotional images made him a remarkable artist of his time.
In addition to these battle scenes, Philippoteaux was also known for documenting the rise and successes of Napoleon Bonaparte in striking depictions. These included a portrait of Napoleon in his regimental uniform and a group of paintings depicting French victories in the Napoleonic Wars. These works earned him the Legion of Honor award in 1846. His son Paul Dominique Philippoteaux, also a gifted artist, followed in his footsteps and together they produced impressive circular paintings. In a remarkable collaboration of father and son, they created a circular drama about the Battle of Gettysburg that became a celebrated work in the United States. In a feat of artistic innovation, they added a third dimension to their cylindrical painting by placing elements of a diorama in front of the painting and incorporating sections of wall and battlefield objects that merged with the painted portions of the presentation. Our fine art prints of these works capture the essence of Philippoteaux's unique style and contribution to the history of fine art. With our commitment to the highest standards of printing, we are able to bring the depth, vibrancy and feeling of Philippoteaux's original works to each fine art print. Although he died in Paris in 1884, Philippoteaux's artistic legacy remains alive through his art and our fine art prints.
