Beautiful copy, published in 2008, hardcover in grey cloth under illustrated dust jacket. Quarto format (33 x 25 cm), 448 pages with 520 illustrations, including 103 in color. Meynier, a faithful student of François-André Vincent, began his official career with the Prix de Rome in 1789 and continued through the Empire and Restoration, contributing to Salons and state commissions, while also creating works for major private collectors of his time. A history painter and skilled draftsman, he focused on rarely illustrated episodes from classical sources, reflecting deep cultural knowledge and a rich literary understanding, evidenced by his significant library and print collection.
