Eugène Fromentin - Paintings

Eugène Fromentin, whose full name was Eugène Samuel Auguste Fromentin-Dupeux, was a well-known painter and writer of the French Orientalism, in the 19th century.
Born: 24 October 1820 in La Rochelle
Died: 27 August 1876 in La Rochelle
Despite of the fact that he stems from an artistically ambitious family, Eugène Fromentin must renounce an academic art education because he first must complete his law studies. At the age of 24, he starts an apprenticeship under the landscape painter Louis Cabat. On his first trip to Algeria, he discovers his predilection for oriental motifs and receives much recognition for it at the Paris Salons. What is characteristic for this artist is his special coloring. He demonstrates his enthusiasm for the desert of Algeria, which he studies extensively on two more journeys, by his application of colors, expressing the special luminosity of this landscape. In addition to numerous sketches, which he partially elaborates in oil in Paris, Eugène Fromentin also writes high-quality travel reports. Through his paintings and the novel “Dominique”, he manages his breakthrough in 1863. As a relatively conservative member of the jury, he writes critical articles about Netherlandish painting. During a journey through the Netherlands, he finds himself forced to radically change his bias into enthusiasm.
