Meissonier, Jean Louis Ernest (zhäN lwē ĕrnĕst` māsônyā`), 1815–91, French genre and military painter. His study of the Dutch masters was evident in his first Salon-exhibited painting, A Visit to the Burgomaster (1834). His small genre paintings are meticulous as to furnishings and costumes. Among Meissonier's battle scenes, chiefly of the Napoleonic Wars, are Napoleon I with His Staff (Louvre) and Friedland, 1807 (Metropolitan Mus.). His genre pictures include The Voyagers (Louvre) and The Lute Player (Metropolitan Mus.).
