				Coming from a family close to the military - his grandfather was steward of the Grand Army, his great-aunt had married Admiral Villeneuve - Edouard Detaille wanted to be a painter and study with Alexandre Cabanel.
In the end, he was trained in Meissonier's studio, which provided him with the subject of the first painting he exhibited in 1867. But the following year, he exhibited a military painting of his time, La halte des tambours. This work marked the beginning of a long and brilliant career as a historical painter, with a predilection for military scenes.
