Hippolyte Lazerges
Jean Raymond Hippolyte Lazerges (1817–1887) was a French Orientalist painter and songwriter. Biography Despite showing some artistic talent his father, who was a baker, refused to let him study drawing. From 1830, he and his family lived in Algeria. In 1838, he went to Paris to begin his mandatory military service. Upon being discharged, he remained in Paris, where he studied with the sculptor David d'Angers and the painter François Bouchot. He began with religious works, to obtain government commissions for church murals, as his student years had left him in poverty. A notable painting from this period is the "Death of the Virgin", in the chapel at the Palais des Tuileries. He returned to Algeria in 1861, due to health problems, and began working in the Orientalist genre; creating mostly portraits. Together with Joseph Sintès and Alfred Chataud, he helped to establish the Algerian style of Orientalist painting, characterized by realistic representations of people and ...

Joseph Sintès
Joseph Sintès (1829, Alaior – 1913, Algiers) was a Spanish-born painter who lived in Algeria. He is known for his urban scenes and landscapes in Orientalist style. Biography His family emigrated to Algeria in the early 1830s during a period when many Menorcans went there to meet the need for horticulturists, arboriculturists and market gardeners. At the beginning of his career, he benefitted from the advice of several French painters there, including Horace Vernet, who was painting scenes from the recent military conquest. At first, he painted portraits for wealthy clients who were vacationing in North Africa; many from Scandinavia. Among his notable sitters were Prince Louis of Battenberg, Alfred I, Prince of Windisch-Grätz and Aimé, duc de Clermont-Tonnerre.''Joseph Sintès'' (exhibition catalog), Ajuntament d'Alaior, 2006 He subsequently served as a Professor at the .

Henri Regnault
Alexandre Georges Henri Regnault (31 October 1843 – 19 January 1871) was a French painter. Biography Regnault was born in Paris, the son of Henri Victor Regnault. On leaving school he successively entered the studios of Antoine Montfort, Louis Lamothe and Alexandre Cabanel, was beaten for the ''Prix de Rome'' (1863) by Joseph Layraud and Xaiver Monchablon, and in 1864 exhibited two unremarkable portraits at the Paris Salon. In 1866, however, he carried off the ''Prix de Rome'' with a work of unusual force and distinction ''Thetis bringing the Arms forged by Vulcan to Achilles'' (School of the Fine Arts). The past in Italy did not touch him, but his illustrations to Wey's ''Rome'' show how observant he was of actual life and manners; even his ''Automedon'' (School of Fine Arts), executed in obedience to Academical regulations, was but a lively recollection of a carnival horse-race. At Rome, moreover, Regnault came into contact with the modern Hispano-Italian school, a school ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Salon (french: Salon), or rarely Paris Salon (French: ''Salon de Paris'' ), beginning in 1667 was the official art exhibition of the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
