François Hippolyte Lalaisse was born in Nancy in 1810 and died in Paris in 1884. He was a French painter and illustrator.
The Mounted Chasseurs Regiment of the Imperial Guard was not only the emperor's escort but also a vital cavalry reserve at the decisive moment of the battle. This cavalry unit, with exceptional courage and moral virtue, served as an example to the rest of the army.
Hippolyte Lalaisse exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon, his first exhibition there being in 1835. In addition to a large number of lithographs of the regional costumes worn in Brittany, he also published lithographs of the military uniforms of the period. Several of Lalaisse's lithographs can be seen in the Musée du Faouët.[5] His paintings can also be seen in the art museums of Bagnères-de-Bigorre, Chaumont, and Lons-le-Saulnier, as can several costume sketches which can be found in the Musée des Civilisations de l'Europe et de la Méditerranée in Marseille.
