In 1959, one critic noted of the artist that ‘Émile Mangenot’s brush is full of honesty and power, faithful to the rules of classicism, the artist strictly limits himself to truth and to harmonious colour. His sumptuous landscapes, marked by serenity, are often decorated by pleasant daubs, they shine by their picturesque views selected with exquisite taste.’
