Charles Theriat
Large Middle Eastern Figurative Oil Painting Resting Along Algerian Water Canal

1890

About the Item

This painting is signed bottom left. This Monumental Middle Eastern Figurative painting by Charles Theriat (1860-1937) is an oil on canvas and comes with frame. His artistic training began at the Academie Julian in Paris in 1880, studying with Jules-Joseph Lefebvre (1836-1911) and Gustave-Clarence-Rodolphe Boulanger (1824-1888) until 1885. He made his first public debut exhibiting at the Paris Salon in 1886. He painted portraits, domestic genre interiors, and city views, particularly the canals of Venice, but most commonly North Africa, especially Algeria, where he wintered in 1888. Theriat’s plein-air scenes showed Bedouin encampments, herdsmen tending their goats, and hunters on their steeds, life in oasis towns, presenting the desert with little, if any, human or animal life. This painting is a common subject of his travels to North Africa and similarly depicts the scenes and character styles of his other paintings.
