Works by Édouard Detaille (1848-1912), in the public domain, each linked to its record in the museum that holds it. A pupil of Ernest Meissonier who served in the Garde mobile during the war of 1870, he devoted almost all his work to the army: the fighting of the Franco-Prussian War, the horsemen of the Empire, the reviews and ceremonies of the Third Republic and, with Alphonse de Neuville, the great panoramas of the battles of Champigny and Rezonville, later cut into fragments. Only works that the museums give to him without reservation, and of which a freely reusable photograph exists, are included: those of museums that place their images in the public domain, or another free photograph, whose origin is given on the page of the work. For two museums that have no online record for each work, the link leads to the entry in the public catalogue of the French Ministry of Culture. The titles are those of the museums, with their translation.
