A certificate of authenticity from the Association Felix Ziem is available on request. He was born Félix-Francois Georges Philibert Ziem in Beaune in the Côte-d'Or département of the Burgundy région of France. His mother was a native of Burgundy who had married an immigrant from Croatia. Originally, Ziem planned to be an architect, studied in the École des Beaux-Arts in Dijon, and for a time he worked as an architect. In 1839 he moved to Marseilles, where he received some informal instruction in painting from Adolphe Monticelli.[1] Painting developed from a hobby into a career following a visit in 1841 to Italy. Where he fell in love with the city of Venice, a place that would become the source for many of his works. And to which he returned annually until 1892.[1] Apart from Venetian scenes, he also painted many still lifes, portraits, and landscapes of diverse locations which reflected his travels. Following a year-long trip to the Ottoman Empire and Egypt in 1857-58. He began to include works with an Orientalist theme in his oeuvre. His landscapes included scenes from a variety of locations including Constantinople, Egypt, Martigues, Cagnes-sur-Mer and his native Burgundy. Ziem was a commercially successful artist in his own lifetime. Félix Ziem's father was a Croat who settled in Bourgogne in 1814, and his mother was from the same region. He studied at the École d'Architecture et des Beaux-Arts in Dijon, which had been founded and was run by the painter Anatole Devosge, a pupil of David. He received the second prize in drawing and architecture in 1839. In 1841, after a long journey on foot, he settled in Nice, where he began to receive commissions from the city's bourgeoisie. From 1842, he travelled in Italy, visiting Rome, before discovering Venice, which became his second home. Between 1845 to 1892 he visited Venice regularly, often for several months in the year. He worked from his boat, which served as his studio as well as his living quarters. He travelled extensively. To Constantinople, to Greece and in Russia from 1844, then to Belgium and Holland (1850); England (1852); Egypt (1854). In 1855, he went down the Danube by boat. In 1856, he was in Turkey and the eastern part of the Mediterranean. He visited Algiers in 1858, and in Holland again in 1860. He often went to Barbizon, living out of a caravan in order to better paint and eventually bought a house in Charles Jacque. He befriended all of the celebrated artists of his time. When he grew tired of Barbizon and spent his time between his four houses in Venice, Martigues, Nice and in Paris, rue Lepic. During the course of his career, he painted several thousand canvases. The proceeds of, which enabled him to help young artists, and set up numerous charity works, including an asylum for the blind. He combined his travelling with the Parisian life. He exhibited regularly at the Salon from 1849. Around 1865, Durand-Ruel became one of his main dealers. At his death, he bequeathed a part of his studio (studies and drawings) to the city of Paris. It is in this collection, housed at the Musée du Petit Palais, that one is best able to appreciate Ziem's technique and talent. Felix Ziem was a complete painter, at ease in portraits, still-lifes, flower painting and genre scenes. Of both history and contemporary subjects. Nevertheless, he is most known for his landscapes. His body of work includes numerous watercolours. In his drawings, and especially in his travel journals, while showing his taste by his selection and composition of subjects. He left a precious testament of his times. After Guardi and Canaletto, he affirmed a new vision of Venice, not of the city's celebrated sites such as the Doges' Palace, but rather a systematic study of its changing light over the hours and through the seasons. Beyond Venice and the landscapes of the French regions he visited, he brought back numerous sketches from his travels across Europe. All the way to Russia, Constantinople and the Bosphorus. These included oriental scenes, caravans in profile against the desert, women draped in startling veils on village terraces, and sunsets. His studio in Martigues was transformed into a Moorish structure, complete with a cupola and minaret. Ziem featured in collective, thematic exhibitions, including: Going with the Flow: The Provencal School (Au fil de l'eau. École Provençale), Musée des Tapisseries, Aix-en-Provence (2000); Marseilles and the Mediterranean. Felix Ziem and his Contemporaries (Marseille et le bassin méditerranéen.
