Vernet was born in [[Bordeaux]]. At the age of five, he showed an extraordinary passion for drawing horses, but went through the regular academicalacademic course as a pupil of his father and of [[Nicolas-Bernard Lépicié]]. Strangely, after winning the ''[[Prix de Rome]]'' (1782), he seemed to lose interest in the occupation, and his father had to recall him from Rome to prevent his entering a [[monastery]].<ref name="EB1911">{{EB1911|inline=y|wstitle=Vernet|display=Vernet s.v.

In his "Triumph of Aemilius Paulus", Vernet broke with tradition and drew the horse with the forms he had learnt from nature in stables and riding schools.<ref name="EB1911"/> His hunting pieces, races, landscapes, and work as a [[lithograph]]er were also very popular.
