About the artist

Émile Louis Vernier was a French painter and lithographer, known for his marine scenes. He was enrolled in the Royal College of Besançon, for a military career, but was allowed to move to the Besançon school of drawing, and then to enter the studio of Collette, a well-known lithographer. He submitted his work to the Paris Salon for the first time in 1857. He would receive several medals from the Salon, and in 1869 and 1870 was a member of the admission committee for the etching and lithography section. Vernier is buried in the Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris.
