Eugene Fromentin: Unknown

[ translate ]

Artist: Eugene Fromentin
Title: Unknown
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Dimensions: H: 17" W: 24"

Eugene Fromentin was born (1820-1876) in La Rochelle. After leaving school he studied for some years under "Louis Cabot", 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 subject of most of his works, and to store his memory as well as his profolio with the picturesque and characteristic details of North African life. In 1849 he was awarded a medal of the second class. 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. Fromentin, who maintains that "art is the expression of the Invisible by means of the visible", was much influenced In Style by Eugene Delacroix. His works are distinguished by striking composition, great dexterity of handling and brilliancy of color. In them is given with great truth and refinement the unconscious Grandeur of Barbarian and animal attitudes and gestures. His later works however show signs of an exhausted vein and of an exhausted Spirit, accompanied or caused by physical enfeeblement. This is a "Must-Have" item for a serious collector.
