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.

  • Printemps
    By Charles Levier
    Located in Costa Mesa, CA
    A beautiful woman sits at an open window, gazing down at a small bird who has landed nearby in this serene portrait by Charles Levier. Warm orange tones are played off their complements in shades of blue, the artist utilizing several different layers of oils to create a subtle and relaxed view of a spring day near the sea. Beyond the window a small chapel sits on a peninsula, surrounded tranquil blue waters. This work, like many of Levier's, belongs to the French figurative movement of the Glorious Thirty (Les Trente Glorieuses) - the golden period of thirty years after WWII which were a time of great hope and prosperity in France. Inspired by Hollywood cinema, Charles Levier sought harmony in composition and purity of color and form. His said that his creations represented "a light and delicate world, of dark and subtle shades and colors." Levier worked in a somewhat abstracted, cubist style. Additionally he often employed the French technique of "cloisonnism" (after the French for "partition"), a style of post-Impressionist painting with bold and flat forms separated by dark contours, also seen in this work. The term was coined by critic Edouard Dujardin on the occasion of the Salon des Indépendants, in March 1888 and was commonly used by artists like Émile Bernard, Louis Anquetin, Paul...
