View Lot Notes › Maignan first exhibited at the Salon of 1867, where he showed two paintings depicting rustic and lansdscape scenes. It was not until the following year that he began to execute history paintings, for which he is best known today. His particular interest lay in the history of France and, above all, the Middle Ages.
