His mother was an interior decorator, and his father worked for the railroad. As a boy he liked to draw and knew by the age of seven that he wanted to be an artist. At age 15, he became fascinated with the West and Native Americans. When he turned 17, he enlisted in the Marine Corps and served from 1945 through 1946. <br /><br />After leaving the Marines he enrolled at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts in their two-year commercial art program using the G.I. Bill to pay his tuition. To further his study he attended the American Academy of Art in Chicago for six months where he honed his life drawing and painting skills.<br /><br />After art school a family friend introduced Terpning to Haddon Sundblom, a successful and highly regarded illustrator of that time. Sundblom hired Terpning to work at his Chicago studio as an apprentice. Initially, Terpning ran errands, cut mats, built crates and cleaned brushes. After about a year and a half he began to work on his own commissions. In 1955, he moved to a Milwaukee studio where he stayed for three years before relocating to New York where he was hired by a major Chicago studio. By 1962, he was working as a freelance artist. During his 25 years as an illustrator he created magazine covers, story illustrations and advertising art for publications such as Reader's Digest, Time, Newsweek, Good Housekeeping, Field & Stream, McCall's, Redbook, and Ladies' Home Journal.<br /><br />In 1967, in the midst of his commercial art career Terpning left his home in Connecticut and headed to Vietnam as a civilian combat artist. He was invited by the Marine Corps to document the war by living with the Marines for one month. After two weeks of training he wound up in Da Nang, South Vietnam, with camera and sketch pad going out on patrols with combat troops. Of the experience Terpning stated he was "profoundly changed" by the experience. Upon his return home he created six paintings which are now at the National Museum of the Marine Corps. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Terpning">More on Howard Terpning</a></span><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Please visit my other blogs: <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">Art Collector</span></a>, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">Mythology</span></a>, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">Marine Art</span></a></b>, <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">Portrait of a Lady</span></a>,</b> <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">The Orientalist</span></a></b>, <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">Art of the Nude</span></a></b> and </span><b><span style="color: blue; font-size: 10pt;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">The Canals of Venice</span></a>, </span></b><b><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">Middle East Artists</span></a></span></b><b><span style="color: blue; font-size: 10pt;">, </span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><b><span style="color: blue;">365 Saints</span></b></a>, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><b><span style="color: blue;">365 Days</span></b></a>, and <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><b><span style="color: blue;">Biblical Icons</span></b></a>, also visit my Boards on</span><span style="color: blue; font-size: 10pt;"> <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">Pinterest</span></a></b></span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Images are copyright of their respective owners, assignees or others.

He also created a significant number of nudes.<br /><br />Thanks to a scholarship from the Malinowski Foundation, he was able to study at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich from 1893 to 1898. This was followed by some time at the Académie Julian in Paris and a study trip to Italy.<br /><br />In 1900, he decided to settle in Rome. His studies there consisted largely of copying the Old Masters, but he also created landscapes and nudes. Later, he provided illustrations for the Polish travel magazine, Wędrowiec (The Wanderer), as well as magazines in Germany and Russia.<br /><br />In 1906, he visited Egypt, creating numerous paintings and sketches for later use. When he came back to Poland in 1908, he lived in Lwów, where he had been commissioned to paint murals at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. He also did some stage designs. During World War I, he moved to Rostov-on-Don and became a drawing professor. He returned to Lwów when the war was over.<br /><br />He was a frequent participant in exhibitions, but his first personal showing came only in 1932, at the local "Society of Friends of the Fine Arts". During this period, his major work was a series of fourteen paintings, depicting the history of dance. For most of his later life, he maintained his own art salon in Lwów. During the post-war depression, many upper-class people sold their paintings there; often entire collections.<br /><br />In July 1944, at the approach of the Red Army, he was forced to flee Lwów, leaving all of his possessions behind. He found refuge at a tenement house in Rzeszów, but died only a few months later, from a stroke; possibly the result of an injury he suffered while fleeing. He was buried at the local cemetery, but his grave has not survived. <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/243034249403151199/2800716112533852867#">More on Feliks Michał Wygrzywalski</a></span><br /></span><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Please visit my other blogs: <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">Art Collector</span></a>, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">Mythology</span></a>, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">Marine Art</span></a></b>, <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">Portrait of a Lady</span></a>,</b> <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">The Orientalist</span></a></b>, <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">Art of the Nude</span></a></b> and </span><b><span style="color: blue; font-size: 10pt;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">The Canals of Venice</span></a>, </span></b><b><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">Middle East Artists</span></a></span></b><b><span style="color: blue; font-size: 10pt;">, </span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><b><span style="color: blue;">365 Saints</span></b></a>, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><b><span style="color: blue;">365 Days</span></b></a>, and <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><b><span style="color: blue;">Biblical Icons</span></b></a>, also visit my Boards on</span><span style="color: blue; font-size: 10pt;"> <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">Pinterest</span></a></b></span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Images are copyright of their respective owners, assignees or others.

He was born at Paris in 1824, and orphaned at age 14 His uncle and guardian subsequently sent him to the studio of Pierre-Jules Jollivet and then to Delaroche in 1840. In 1849 took the Prix de Rome with his painting, Ulysses, a work which combined a classical approach with Orientalist overtones.<br /><br /><br />In 1845, he first visited Algeria and this gave him an interest in Orientalist themes. Boulanger's knowledge of Pompeii, which he visited while studying at the École de Rome, also gave him ideas for many future works. His paintings are prime examples of academic art of the time, particularly history painting. Boulanger had visited Italy, Greece, and North Africa, and his paintings reflect his attention to culturally correct details and skill in rendering the female form.<br /><br />He began teaching at the Institut de France in 1882 and was an influential teacher, noted for his dislike of the Impressionism. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustave_Boulanger">More on Gustave Clarence Rodolphe Boulanger</a></span><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt;">Please visit my other blogs: <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">Art Collector</span></a>, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">Mythology</span></a>, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">Marine Art</span></a></b>, <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">Portrait of a Lady</span></a>,</b> <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">The Orientalist</span></a></b>, <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">Art of the Nude</span></a></b> and </span><b><span style="color: blue; font-size: 10pt;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">The Canals of Venice</span></a>, </span></b><b><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">Middle East Artists</span></a></span></b><b><span style="color: blue; font-size: 10pt;">, </span></b><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><b><span style="color: blue;">365 Saints</span></b></a>, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><b><span style="color: blue;">365 Days</span></b></a>, and <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><b><span style="color: blue;">Biblical Icons</span></b></a>, also visit my Boards on</span><span style="color: blue; font-size: 10pt;"> <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">Pinterest</span></a></b></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

They were educated girls of good social standing, trained in dancing, singing and poetry, present at festivals and entertainments, and hired as mourners at funerals.</span><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The Awalim were first introduced as singers, not dancers-cum-prostitutes, according to Edward William Lane's book, Manner and Costumes of modern Egyptians. Lane additionally wrote that the Almah didn't display herself at all, but sang from behind a screen or from another room at weddings and other respectable festivities. Consequently, the Awalem were not subject to exile in Upper Egypt. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almah_(Egyptian_dancer)">More on Almeh</a></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><b> Nils Forsberg (17 December 1842 – 8 November 1934) </b>was a Swedish painter who lived and worked in Paris for much of his career.<br /><br />Forsberg was born in a small village called Riseberga, in the province of Scania. The son of a peasant, he spent his early years in farming, then was apprenticed to a house-painter at Göteborg. He made a statue of Minerva which procured for him a government stipend which enabled him to go to Paris in 1867. In Paris he was a student in the atelier of Léon Bonnat. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">Art historian Richard Muther would later write that Forsberg "became the Swedish Bonnat". </span></span><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The siege of Paris, during which he enlisted in the Ambulance Department, afforded him opportunities for studying and sketching the scenes that he observed. In 1877 he exhibited Family of Acrobats before the Circus Director, now in the Gothenburg Museum of Art. This work, which typifies Forsberg's commitment to social reform, shows the influence of the French Realists in its depiction of child labor</span><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br />In 1888 he received the gold medal at the Salon for his painting The Death of a Hero, now in the Nationalmuseum of Stockholm. The culmination of his ambition to renew traditional history painting with a vigorous contemporary realism, it took him several years to complete, and was inspired by his experiences during the Franco-Prussian War. Afterwards he devoted himself more especially to historical subjects. In 1904 he returned to Sweden. He died in Helsingborg on 8 November 1934. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nils_Forsberg">More on Nils Forsberg</a></span></div></div></div></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;">Please visit my other blogs: <b><a href="https://myartblogcollection.blogspot.ca/"><span style="color: blue;">Art

He was enrolled at the age of 17 years, in the Academy of Fine Art of Parma, studying landscape painting and drawing. In Parma, he was helped early on by Antonio Pasini, who painted for the local nobility and collaborated with the publishing house established by Giovanni Battista Bodoni. By 1852, he exhibited a series of thirty designs, made into lithographs, depicting various castles around Piacenza, Lunigiana and Parma. He was noticed by the artist Paolo Toschi, who encouraged Pasini to travel to Paris, where Pasini first joined the workshop of Charles and Eugène Ciceri, of the so-called School of Barbizon.<br /><br />In 1853 his lithograph of The Evening gained him admittance to the Paris Salon, and to the workshop of the famous Théodore Chassériau. The eruption of the Crimean War offered a new opportunity, when in February 1855, this latter painter recommended Pasini to replace him on the entourage of the French plenipotentiary minister Nicolas Prosper Bourée to Persia. Pasini accompanied him, returning through the north of Persia and Armenia before reaching the port of Trebizond. In subsequent trips, he visited Egypt, the Red Sea, Arabia, Istanbul, and Persia. Pasini parlayed his exposures during this trip into numerous highly detailed paintings of orientalist subjects. He left again for Istanbul in October 1867, summoned by the French Ambassador Bourée. He returned to Turkey in 1876 to execute the four paintings commissioned by Sultan Abdul Aziz. He was about to return to Istanbul the next year, when his patron, the Sultan, died.<br /><br />In 1865, he spent some time in Cannes, painted landscapes of the Riviera. During the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, he returned to Italy, settling in Cavoretto, on the hills around Turin. He continued to travel, closer to his home, with trips to Venice and two sojourns in Spain in 1879 and 1883. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alberto_Pasini">More Alberto Pasini</a></span><br /></span><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt;">Please visit my other blogs: <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">Art Collector</span></a>, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">Mythology</span></a>, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">Marine Art</span></a></b>, <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">Portrait of a Lady</span></a>,</b> <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">The Orientalist</span></a></b>, <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">Art of the Nude</span></a></b> and </span><b><span style="color: blue; font-size: 10pt;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">The Canals of Venice</span></a>, </span></b><b><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">Middle East Artists</span></a></span></b><b><span style="color: blue; font-size: 10pt;">, </span></b><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><b><span style="color: blue;">365 Saints</span></b></a>, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><b><span style="color: blue;">365 Days</span></b></a>, and <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><b><span style="color: blue;">Biblical Icons</span></b></a>, also visit my Boards on</span><span style="color: blue; font-size: 10pt;"> <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">Pinterest</span></a></b></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

Like most aspiring artists, the young Georges Washington moved to Paris, where he trained at the Ecole des Beaux Arts under François-Edouard Picot (1786-1868). The artist’s exotic style was also indebted to Eugène Delacroix (1798-1863). Washington’s art conveys a similar feeling to the work of Eugène Fromentin (1820-76) who often painted naturalistic Middle Eastern scenes of rural and nomadic life. Washington’s love of the Middle East and its customs was further enhanced and encouraged by his father-in-law, the military and Orientalist painter Henri-Félix-Emmanuel Philippoteaux (1815-1884), whose daughter Anne-Léonie Philippoteaux married Washington in Paris on 6th August 1859.<br /><br />Not long after finishing his training at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, Washington embarked on the first of a number of trips to Algeria and based on close observation of its inhabitants, their dress and customs in 1857 he made his Paris debut at the Salon des Artistes Français with a view of nomads titled Plaine du Hoiina (Sahara Algérien). From then up until 1901 Washington continued to be a popular exhibitor at the Salon; one of his first works shown there to gain critical acclaim was Nomades dans le Sahara en Hiver. In addition to Paris, Washington also showed his work in Moscow in 1881 and was later posthumously honoured when four of his paintings were included in the Exposition Coloniale de Marseille in 1906.<br /><br />Following two commissions from a Belgian company, he travelled to Morocco and then subsequently visited Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey, which were to inspire his varied subjects including battle scenes and cavalry skirmishes. His travels also took him to America for the unveiling in Philadelphia of a cyclorama (a monumental 360° panoramic view) of the Battle of Gettysburg by his brother-in-law Paul-Dominique Philippoteaux (1846-1923).<br /><br />Following the death of his wife he retired to live with his daughter and son-in-law at Douarnenez on the Brittany coast, where he died shortly after on 19th November 1901. <a href="http://www.jeromefinearts.com/portfolio/georges-washington-1827-1901/">More George Washington</a></span><br /></span><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt;">Please visit my other blogs: <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">Art Collector</span></a>, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">Mythology</span></a>, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">Marine Art</span></a></b>, <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">Portrait of a Lady</span></a>,</b> <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">The Orientalist</span></a></b>, <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">Art of the Nude</span></a></b> and </span><b><span style="color: blue; font-size: 10pt;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">The Canals of Venice</span></a>, </span></b><b><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">Middle East Artists</span></a></span></b><b><span style="color: blue; font-size: 10pt;">, </span></b><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><b><span style="color: blue;">365 Saints</span></b></a>, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><b><span style="color: blue;">365 Days</span></b></a>, and <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><b><span style="color: blue;">Biblical Icons</span></b></a>, also visit my Boards on</span><span style="color: blue; font-size: 10pt;"> <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7849597160527867394/4426857203708279599"><span style="color: blue;">Pinterest</span></a></b></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

Returning twice to North Africa, he built a successful career as an Orientalist painter and was a frequent contributor to the Paris Salon. The vivid drama of The Charge is characteristic of Fromentin's later work, which often celebrates galloping horses. <a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2022/the-orientalist-sale-3/the-charge">More on this painting</a></span><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /><b> Eugène Fromentin (October 24, 1820 – August 27, 1876)</b> was a French painter and writer, now better remembered for his writings. He was born in La Rochelle. After leaving school he studied for some years under Louis Cabat, the landscape painter. Fromentin was one of the earliest pictorial interpreters of Algeria, having been able, while quite young, to visit the land and people that suggested the subjects of most of his works, and to store his memory as well as his portfolio with the picturesque and characteristic details of North African life. In 1849, he was awarded a medal of the second class.<br /><br />In 1852, he paid a second visit to Algeria, accompanying an archaeological mission, and then completed that minute study of the scenery of the country and of the habits of its people which enabled him to give to his after-work the realistic accuracy that comes from intimate knowledge. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eug%C3%A8ne_Fromentin">More on Eugène Fromentin</a></span><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Please visit my other blogs: <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">Art Collector</span></a>, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">Mythology</span></a>, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">Marine Art</span></a></b>, <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">Portrait of a Lady</span></a>,</b> <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">The Orientalist</span></a></b>, <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">Art of the Nude</span></a></b> and </span><b><span style="color: blue; font-size: 10pt;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">The Canals of Venice</span></a>, </span></b><b><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">Middle East Artists</span></a></span></b><b><span style="color: blue; font-size: 10pt;">, </span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><b><span style="color: blue;">365 Saints</span></b></a> and <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><b><span style="color: blue;">365 Days</span></b></a>, also visit my Boards on</span><span style="color: blue; font-size: 10pt;"> <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">Pinterest</span></a></b></span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Images are copyright of their respective owners, assignees or others.

He was born in Paris and studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Toulouse. A journey to Morocco in 1872 strongly influenced his early artistic development and lead him to produce Romantic scenes under the spell of Orientalism. He received a medal in 1876.<br /><br />After 1880, he changed his manner, devoting himself to mural decorations. He was distinguished as a portrait painter, especially in England, where he was a favorite of the aristocracy. His portrait Mons fils André (Luxembourg) was awarded a medal of honor at the Salon in 1896.<br /><br />He was made a member of the Institute in 1893, and was a commander of the Legion of Honor. He visited the United States several times, and painted a number of portraits. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York owns a large mural decoration by Benjamin-Constant entitled Justinian in Council.<br /><br />He also was a writer of repute, contributing a number of studies on contemporary French painters. He died in Paris on 26 May 1902. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Joseph_Benjamin-Constant">More on Jean-Joseph Benjamin-Constant</a></span><br /></span><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Please visit my other blogs: <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">Art Collector</span></a>, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">Mythology</span></a>, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">Marine Art</span></a></b>, <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">Portrait of a Lady</span></a>,</b> <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">The Orientalist</span></a></b>, <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">Art of the Nude</span></a></b> and </span><b><span style="color: blue; font-size: 10pt;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">The Canals of Venice</span></a>, </span></b><b><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">Middle East Artists</span></a></span></b><b><span style="color: blue; font-size: 10pt;">, </span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><b><span style="color: blue;">365 Saints</span></b></a>, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><b><span style="color: blue;">365 Days</span></b></a>, and <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/243034249403151199/633283994729261763"><b><span style="color: blue;">Biblical Icons</span></b></a>, also visit my Boards on</span><span style="color: blue; font-size: 10pt;"> <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">Pinterest</span></a></b></span><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Images are copyright of their respective owners, assignees or others.

<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">George Washington, born 15 September 1827 in Marseille
and died November 19, 1901 in Douarnenez, </span>was a French Orientalist
painter. Like most aspiring artists, the young Georges Washington moved to
Paris, where he trained at the Ecole des Beaux Arts under François-Edouard
Picot (1786-1868). The artist’s exotic style was also indebted to Eugène Delacroix
(1798-1863). Washington’s art conveys a similar feeling to the work of Eugène
Fromentin (1820-76) who often painted naturalistic Middle Eastern scenes of
rural and nomadic life. Washington’s love of the Middle East and its customs
was further enhanced and encouraged by his father-in-law, the military and
Orientalist painter Henri-Félix-Emmanuel Philippoteaux (1815-1884), whose
daughter Anne-Léonie Philippoteaux married Washington in Paris on 6th August
1859.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial;">Not long
after finishing his training at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, Washington embarked
on the first of a number of trips to Algeria and based on close observation of
its inhabitants, their dress and customs in 1857 he made his Paris debut at the
Salon des Artistes Français with a view of nomads titled Plaine du Hoiina
(Sahara Algérien). From then up until 1901 Washington continued to be a popular
exhibitor at the Salon; one of his first works shown there to gain critical
acclaim was Nomades dans le Sahara en Hiver. In addition to Paris, Washington
also showed his work in Moscow in 1881 and was later posthumously honoured when
four of his paintings were included in the Exposition Coloniale de Marseille in
1906.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial;">Following
two commissions from a Belgian company, he travelled to Morocco and then
subsequently visited Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey, which were to inspire his
varied subjects including battle scenes and cavalry skirmishes. His travels
also took him to America for the unveiling in Philadelphia of a cyclorama (a
monumental 360° panoramic view) of the Battle of Gettysburg by his
brother-in-law Paul-Dominique Philippoteaux (1846-1923).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: black;">Following the death of his wife he retired to live with his
daughter and son-in-law at Douarnenez on the Brittany coast, where he died
shortly after on 19th November 1901. </span><a href="http://www.jeromefinearts.com/portfolio/georges-washington-1827-1901/">More

He studied art, first at the Städel Institute in his native town, and then at Stuttgart and Munich. He painted many of his favourite subjects in his travels in the East. He first accompanied Maximilian Karl, 6th Prince of Thurn and Taxis through Hungary, Wallachia, Russia and Turkey; then, in 1854, he followed the Austrian army across the Wallachian frontier. In 1856 he went to Egypt and Syria, and in 1861 to Algiers. In 1862 he settled in Paris, but returned to Germany in 1870; and settled at Cronberg near Frankfurt, where he died.<br /><br />Schreyer was, and is still, especially esteemed as a painter of horses, of peasant life in Wallachia and Moldavia, and of battle incidents. His work is remarkable for its excellent equine draughtsmanship, and for the artist's power of observation and forceful statement; and has found particular favour among French and American collectors. Of his battle-pictures there are two at the Schwerin Gallery, and others in the collection of Count Mensdorff-Pouilly and in the Raven Gallery, Berlin. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Schreyer">More on Adolf Schreyer</a><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">Please visit my other blogs: <b><a href="https://myartblogcollection.blogspot.ca/"><span style="color: blue;">Art

To protect them from suitors when they became of "a marriagable age," as Irving describes it, the king imprisoned the three princesses in a tower in a palatial room, connected to the world beyond only by a window with a view across a ravine toward the gardens of the Generalife on a nearby hill.</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"> Entranced by three captive Christian Spanish cavaliers, whom they could see from their window, the princesses eventually conspired with their duenna to elope with the virile and handsome young men, as they themselves fled their Muslim captors. At the last moment, one princess decided to remain behind, as her two sisters lowered themselves out of the great window on a rope ladder and galloped off with their suitors to a new life in Christian Spain. Tragically, the third princess, too timid to join her sisters in escape, pined away in the tower and died at an early age. </span><a href="https://www.christies.com/lot/lot-4693745?ldp_breadcrumb=back&intObjectID=4693745&from=salessummary&lid=1" style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">More on this painting</a><div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /><b> Edwin Lord Weeks (1849 – 1903) </b>was an American artist. Weeks was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1849. His parents were affluent spice and tea merchants from Newton, a suburb of Boston, and as such they were able to finance their son's youthful interest in painting and travelling. As a young man Weeks visited the Florida Keys to draw, and also travelled to Surinam in South America. His earliest known paintings date from 1867 when he was eighteen years old, although it is not until his Landscape with Blue Heron, dated 1871 and painted in the Everglades, that Weeks started to exhibit a dexterity of technique and eye for composition—presumably having taken professional tuition.<br /><br />In 1872 Weeks relocated to Paris, becoming a pupil of Léon Bonnat and Jean-Léon Gérôme. After his studies in Paris, Weeks emerged as one of America's major painters of Orientalist subjects. Throughout his adult life he was an inveterate traveler and journeyed to South America (1869), Egypt and Persia (1870), Morocco (frequently between 1872 and 1878), and India (1882–83).<br /><br />Weeks died in Paris in November 1903.[2] He was a member of the Légion d'honneur, France, an officer of the Order of St. Michael, Germany, and a member of the Munich Secession. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Lord_Weeks">More on Edwin Lord Weeks</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">Please visit my other blogs: <b><a href="https://myartblogcollection.blogspot.ca/"><span style="color: blue;">Art

He is primarily known for his Orientalist works.<br /><br />He was inspired by stories of his great-great-uncle, the history and portrait painter Alexander Macco, who painted a portrait of the Queen of Prussia and was a close friend of Beethoven and Goethe. His artistic career began at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf in 188o, where he studied with Eugen Dücker and Johann Peter Theodor Janssen until 1887. During this time, he also contributed illustrations to Die Gartenlaube and drawings of coats-of-arms for his brother, Hermann Friedrich Macco, who was an historian and genealogist.<br /><br />He moved to Munich to further his studies and used that city as a base for his numerous travels, beginning with mountainous regions from Italy to Spitsbergen. Later, he travelled throughout the Mediterranean region, visiting such then-exotic locations as Istanbul, Baalbek, Jerusalem, Cairo and the vicinity of Mecca. The works he produced as a result of these travels would eventually become his most popular and sought after.<br /><br />His works may be seen at the Kunstmuseum Düsseldorf, the Suermondt-Ludwig-Museum in Aachen, the Rudolfinum in Prague and the Alpines Museum in Munich. Some of his works in Aachen were previously on the "Schattengalerie" (shadow gallery) list of works looted by the Nazis during World War II. Other works, not yet displayed, have been uncovered at the Simferopol Art Museum. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Macco">More on Georg Macco</a></span></div></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;">Please visit my other blogs: <b><a href="https://myartblogcollection.blogspot.ca/"><span style="color: blue;">Art

By the late 19th century, the Ottoman army had been reorganized along European lines into a professional corps manned by volunteers and conscripts. Non-Muslims were allowed to pay a tax in lieu of military service. Muslims could buy exemption as well, but only at a very high price. It is likely that the desperate conscripts depicted here, some of whom are trying unsuccessfully to escape from the small boats taking them to the steamship in the distance, are poor Muslims unable to afford the exemption. </span><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.daheshmuseum.org/portfolio/gustav-bauernfeindjaffa-recruiting-of-turkish-soldiers-in-palestine/#.Y_UDQnbMJet">More on this painting</a></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Gustav Bauernfeind (4 September 1848, Sulz am Neckar - 24 December 1904, Jerusalem) </b>was a German painter, illustrator and architect.

During his journey to the Levant from 1880 to 1882, he became interested in the Orient and repeated his travels again and again. In 1896 he moved with his wife and son all the way to Palestine and subsequently settled in Jerusalem in 1898. He also lived and worked in Lebanon and Syria.</div><div style="text-align: left;">His work is characterized primarily by architectural views of Jerusalem and the Holy Land. The paintings of Bauernfeind are mostly meticulously crafted, intricately composed and almost photographically accurate cityscapes and images of known sanctuaries in oil. In addition, he produced landscape scenes and watercolours. During his lifetime he was the most popular Orientalist painter of Germany, but soon fell into oblivion after his death. However, since the early 1980s, Bauernfeind was gradually rediscovered. At his birthplace in Sulz am Neckar, the life and work of the painter is commemorated by the Gustav Bauernfeind Museum with a large permanent exhibition. <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/3464969948302668644/7122880404252168677#">More Gustav Bauernfeind</a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt;">Please visit my other blogs: <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">Art Collector</span></a>, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">Mythology</span></a>, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">Marine Art</span></a></b>, <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">Portrait of a Lady</span></a>,</b> <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">The Orientalist</span></a></b>, <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">Art of the Nude</span></a></b> and </span><b><span style="color: blue; font-size: 10pt;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">The Canals of Venice</span></a>, </span></b><b><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">Middle East Artists</span></a></span></b><b><span style="color: blue; font-size: 10pt;">, </span></b><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><b><span style="color: blue;">365 Saints</span></b></a> and <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><b><span style="color: blue;">365 Days</span></b></a>, also visit my Boards on</span><span style="color: blue; font-size: 10pt;"> <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">Pinterest</span></a></b></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

His themes are generally historical, and he treated them on a colossal scale and in an emotional naturalistic style, with a distinct revelling in horrible subjects and details.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">He made his Paris Salon début in 1882 with Vitellis traîné dans les rues de Rome par la populace (Vitellius dragged through the streets of Rome by the people) (1882; Sens). He followed this the year afterwards with Andromaque (1882–83; Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen), which won that year's prestigious Prix du Salon. There followed La Jacquerie (1885; Untraced), Le mort de Babylone (The fall of Babylon) (1891; Untraced), The death of the Emperor Geta (1899; Musée de Picardie, Amiens), and Barbarian ambassadors at the Court of Justinian (1907; Untraced), all of which exemplify his strong and spirited but sensational and often brutal painting. In quite another style and beautiful in colour is his Le Chevalier aux Fleurs (The Knight of Flowers) (1894; Musée d’Orsay, Paris; RF 898).</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">He was elected an Officer of the Legion of Honour in 1892 and received the Medal of Honour in 1906 for The Red Delight. Rochegrosse also illustrated several books. Some of the drawings for these illustrations are in the Department of Prints and Drawings at the British Museum, London. He lived his final years in Algeria, but returned to Paris where he died and is buried in Montparnasse Cemetery. His wife, Marie Rochegrosse (née Leblond), had died in 1920. <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/3464969948302668644/5568590093121378613?hl=en#">More on Georges Antoine Rochegrosse</a></span></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Please visit my other blogs: <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">Art Collector</span></a>, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">Mythology</span></a>, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">Marine Art</span></a></b>, <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">Portrait of a Lady</span></a>,</b> <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">The Orientalist</span></a></b>, <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">Art of the Nude</span></a></b> and </span><b><span style="color: blue; font-size: 10pt;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">The Canals of Venice</span></a>, </span></b><b><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">Middle East Artists</span></a></span></b><b><span style="color: blue; font-size: 10pt;">, </span></b><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><b><span style="color: blue;">365 Saints</span></b></a> and <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><b><span style="color: blue;">365 Days</span></b></a>, also visit my Boards on</span><span style="color: blue; font-size: 10pt;"> <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">Pinterest</span></a></b></span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

He was born in Rennes in 1870, and died in Paris in 1924. He started training at the Académie Julian in Paris, where he spent 1889 through 1895. He had many teachers there, including Gabriel Ferrier, William-Adolphe Bouguereau, and Tony Robert-Fleury. In addition to his training in the academic style, much of Seignac's work displayed classical themes and style, for example, his use of diaphanous drapery covering a woman's body is reminiscent of classical style, in particular the sculptor Phidias. In 1897, Guillaume Seignac regularly exhibited at the Salon and won several honors, including in 1900 honorable mention and in 1903 a Third Class medal. <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/243034249403151199/5785484443055767949#">More on Guillaum Seignac</a></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt;">Please visit my other blogs: <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">Art Collector</span></a>, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">Mythology</span></a>, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">Marine Art</span></a></b>, <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">Portrait of a Lady</span></a>,</b> <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">The Orientalist</span></a></b>, <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">Art of the Nude</span></a></b> and </span><b><span style="color: blue; font-size: 10pt;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">The Canals of Venice</span></a>, </span></b><b><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">Middle East Artists</span></a></span></b><b><span style="color: blue; font-size: 10pt;">, </span></b><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><b><span style="color: blue;">365 Saints</span></b></a> and <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><b><span style="color: blue;">365 Days</span></b></a>, also visit my Boards on</span><span style="color: blue; font-size: 10pt;"> <b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/5004672358580328331/8387177029451466579"><span style="color: blue;">Pinterest</span></a></b></span><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>Alphonse Clément André Brondy, known as Mattéo Brondy, (April 9, 1886 in Paris -1944 in Meknes, Morocco) </b>was a French military veterinarian and painter. He is most known for the paintings of Morocco that became travel posters. His first works, exhibited from 1909 at the Salon des Indépendants and the French Artists Salon, met with success .</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Brondy was a student at the National Veterinary School of Alfort in 1889. In the same year he completed an internship at the Saumur Cavalry School . Brondy was assigned, as a veterinary assistant, in 1891. He returned to France in 1894 to enter the Académie Julian in Paris. He was then admitted to Adolphe Déchenaud's workshop.</span><br />
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Brondy arrived in Morocco around 1915 again as a military veterinarian. He participated in armed expeditions in the Middle Atlas and Upper Moulouya, in the northeast of Morocco. He brought back some sketches and watercolors. In 1918, Brondy moved to Meknes as a municipal veterinarian. The Berber hinterland of the city also offered varied landscapes: plains, mountains and springs. All lit by this Afro-Mediterranean light that many artists have tried to capture .</span><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"></span><br />
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Brondy founded with other French artists living in Morocco an artistic society called the Association of French painters and sculptors of Morocco. There are twelve member artists. The group was very reserved and avoided drawing in public without the consent of the neighborhood. He spent days working in the famous stud farms in Meknes. He executed watercolors near the Bab-el-Khémis or Bab-Berdaïne markets. He carefully noted the architecture of historic monuments. Brondy was the president of the tourist office of the city of Meknès and therefore the great promoter He made many splendid posters. These posters are not forgotten and continue to be published in the form of postcards and used as illustration for books. <a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt%C3%A9o_Brondy">More on Mattéo Brondy</a></span><br />

<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-CA" style="font-weight: bold;">Adolf Schreyer (July 9, 1828
Frankfurt-am-Main – July 29, 1899 Kronberg im Taunus)</span><span lang="en-US" style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><span lang="en-CA">was a German
painter, associated with the Düsseldorf school of painting. </span><span lang="en-US">He studied art, first at the Städel Institute in his native town,
and then at Stuttgart and Munich. He painted many of his favourite subjects in
his travels in the East. He first accompanied Maximilian Karl, 6th Prince of
Thurn and Taxis through Hungary, Wallachia, Russia and Turkey; then, in 1854,
he followed the Austrian army across the Wallachian frontier. In 1856 he went
to Egypt and Syria, and in 1861 to Algiers. In 1862 he settled in Paris, but
returned to Germany in 1870; and settled at Cronberg near Frankfurt, where he
died.</span></span></div>

<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-CA" style="color: black;">Schreyer was, and is still, especially esteemed
as a painter of horses, of peasant life in Wallachia and Moldavia, and of
battle incidents. His work is remarkable for its excellent equine
draughtsmanship, and for the artist's power of observation and forceful
statement; and has found particular favour among French and American
collectors. Of his battle-pictures there are two at the Schwerin Gallery, and
others in the collection of Count Mensdorff-Pouilly and in the Raven Gallery,
Berlin.</span><span lang="en-US" style="color: black;"> </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Schreyer"><span lang="en-US"> More

<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>Narcisse Berchère (11 September 1819, Étampes - 20 September 1891, Asnières-sur-Seine </b>was a French painter and engraver; best known for his Orientalist works.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">His initial studies were at the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris, with Charles-Caïus Renoux [fr]. Later, he worked in the studios of Jean-Charles-Joseph Rémond.</span><br />
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">He spent much of his working life in Paris; making extended trips to Provence and Spain, and specializing in landscapes. He visited Egypt, Asia Minor and the Greek archipelago from 1849 to 1850 and sent his first paintings to the Salon from Greece.</span><br />
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">In 1856, he returned to Egypt and crossed the Sinai desert with his friend, the painter Léon Belly. They were then joined by Jean-Léon Gérôme and Auguste Bartholdi; setting out on an expedition up the Nile Valley that October.</span><br />
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Four years later, Ferdinand de Lesseps entrusted him to create a series of paintings, tracing the different stages in the excavation of the Suez Canal. During this project he maintined a detailed correspondence with Eugène Fromentin. Their letters were published in 1863. He was invited to attend the inaugural ceremonies at the Canal in 1869.</span><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"></span><br />
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">After many years of travelling throughout North Africa and the Middle East, he settled in Asnières-sur-Seine. Many of his sketches and paintings are preserved at the Musée municipal d'Étampes [fr], in Essonne. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcisse_Berch%C3%A8re">More on Narcisse Berchère</a></span><br />

<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">In Ancient Greek folklore, a <b>phoenix </b>is a long-lived bird that cyclically regenerates or is otherwise born again. Associated with the sun, a phoenix obtains new life by arising from the ashes of its predecessor. Some legends say it dies in a show of flames and combustion, others that it simply dies and decomposes before being born again. Most accounts say that it lived for 500 years before rebirth. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_(mythology)">More on the Phoenix</a></span></div>

<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>Henri-Léopold Lévy (23 September 1840, Nancy - 29 December 1904, Paris) </b>was a French painter of Jewish ancestry, known primarily for mythological and Biblical subjects.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">His artistic education began at the École des beaux-arts de Paris. His first exhibit at the Salon came in 1865, where he displayed his portrayal of Hecuba. It brought him a first-class medal. Two years later, he received an award for his version of Jehoash of Judah. In 1869 he was given a prize for his "Hebrew Captive Weeping at the Ruins of Jerusalem". In 1872, after showing his portrait of Herodias, he was named a Chevalier in the Legion of Honor.</span><br />
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Despite being a Chevalier, his career suffered from the anti-Semitism that swept France after the Dreyfus Affair. He was, however, able to continue participating in the Salon until 1903. During this time, he took an extended trip to the Middle East with his friend, Fromentin, and produced several Orientalist works. He also served as a teacher. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri-L%C3%A9opold_L%C3%A9vy">More on Henri-Léopold Lévy</a></span><br />
