Description: | This small piece is believed to be by the French artist Alexandre-Gabriel Decamps, although identification of the monogram may contradict this attribution. Decamps did travel to North Africa, the setting for this painting, in 1828. He was one of the first major artists to travel to the region that became a major fascination for French artists. The paintings he produced on his return encouraged other painters to take up these themes. This work once belonged to the influential nineteenth-century Liverpool patron John Miller, who encouraged many local painters, as well as collecting foreign works. | Subjects: | landscape; figure; animal (camel); everyday life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Decamps, Alexandre-Gabriel (French painter and printmaker, 1803-1860) Æ Attributed to Attributed to Guignet, Jean Adrien (French painter, 1816-1854) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8315... | Go to resource |
