When he again began to produce under the [[French Directory]] (1795–1799), his style had changed radically. He started drawing in minute detail battles and campaigns to glorify Napoleon.{{Citation needed|date=August 2017}} His drawings of [[Napoleon]]'s Italian campaign won acclaim as did the ''[[Battle of Marengo]]'', and for his ''Morning of Austerlitz'' Napoleon awarded him the [[Legion of Honour]]
In addition to being a painter and lithographer, Carle Vernet was an avid horseman. Just days before his death at the age of seventy-eight, he was seen racing as if he were a sprightly young man.
He died in [[Paris]].<ref name="EB1911"/>
==Literary references==
In [[Arthur Conan Doyle]]'s short story "[[The Adventure of the Greek Interpreter]]", fictional detective [[Sherlock Holmes]] claims that his grandmother is the French artist, Vernet's sister, without stating whether this is [[Claude Joseph Vernet]], Carle Vernet, or [[Horace Vernet]].
In [[Maria Wirtemberska]]'s novel ''Malvina, or the Heart's Intuition'' (1816; English translation 2001, by Ursula Phillips), it is said that a view that is being described merits the talent of Vernet, who as the writer explains in her own footnote was a sea painter.
