Description: | Signed: yes Description: Charles Théodore Frère trained as a landscape and figure painter without much success, so he decided to travel. In 1839 after a trip to Algeria, he began painting orientalist scenes which achieved success at the Paris Salons. Collectors, including kings, liked his paintings of life in the cities and deserts of North Africa, of which this a typical example. Frère visited Egypt in the early 1850s, and made many studies that provided material for his later work. He was one of the first painters to be interested in this subject matter, particularly the effects of light in the desert. | Subjects: | landscape (Egypt); place (river Nile); animal (camels); figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Frère, Charles Théodore (French painter, 1814-1888) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8631... | Go to resource |
