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. 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]]. [[Louis XVIII of France]] awarded him the [[Order of Saint Michael]]. Afterwards he excelled in hunting scenes and depictions of horses.
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.
