Emile Munier (1840 – 1895) was an obviously skilled painter who was famous in his own time. He was a student of William Bouguereau, and his later works show that influence. During his life he came to be known as a painter of young children and their pets. The amount of cuteness in Munier's paintings often reached critical levels.
Even so, Munier's abilities were outstanding. He was able to capture a fleeting expression and sudden gesture and portray it exactly on canvas. He understood figure drawing as well as Bouguereau, and his paintings have even been mistaken for Bouguereau paintings do to their closeness of style. He understood the human figure not only of adults, but of children, which seems (to me) to be a frequent hurdle for painters.
