A pupil of Cogniet and Durand, Amédée Rosier started out at the Paris Salon in 1857 with a history painting called Combat naval devant Sébastopol. His first views of Venice and North Africa appeared in 1864. He received a third class medal in 1876 with La Lagune, le soir and Venise, le Grand Canal. He was awarded with a bronze medal at the Universal Exhibition in 1889. His landscapes are shown to their best advantage thanks to his obvious colourist talent. This travelling artist painted in Holland, in the South of France, at Constantinople, and Egypt, where he magnificently portrayed the atmospheres of each country.
Rosier was among the many European painters who traveled to North Africa at the turn of the century, a part of the current known as Orientalism. The French Society of Orientalist Painters was founded in 1893, with Jean-Léon Gérôme as the honorary president.
The formation of the French Orientalist Painters Society changed the consciousness of practitioners towards the end of the 19th century, since artists could now see themselves as part of a distinct art movement. As an art movement, Orientalist painting is generally treated as one of the many branches of 19th-century academic art; however, many different styles of Orientalist art were in evidence. Art historians tend to identify two broad types of Orientalist artist: the realists who carefully painted what they observed such as Gustav Bauernfeint; and those who imagined Orientalist scenes without ever leaving the studio. French painters such as Eugène Delacroix (1798–1863) and Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824–1904) are widely regarded as the leading luminaries of the Orientalist movement.

Amédée Rosier
Amédée Rosier (1831 - 1898, French) Like many painters at this time he travelled extensively in Italy and the Orient, Constantinople, Africa and Egypt. However he was seduced by the charms of Italy and spent much time there capturing the magic of the architecture and everyday life especially in Venice. It is for these views of Venice that he has become so well known. A contemporary of Felix Ziem, like him he paints with great wit and skill. He was especially known for his talents as a colorist. He exhibited widely during his lifetime including in 1857 at the French Artists' Salon in Paris where he showed a history painting, 'The Naval Battle, Sébastopol'. In 1876 he won a medal at the Salon with a view of the 'Venice Lagoon by Moonlight' and in 1889 he won a medal at the Universal Exhibition with a painting 'The Grand Canal, Venice'. Rosier's paintings are held in many major museums and collections including: Paris, Musée d'Orsay Compiegne, Castle Rennes, Museum of Fine Arts Pau, Museum of Fine Arts.

Twilight in the Hills
By William Louis Sonntag Sr. 1
Located in Wiscasett, ME
A luminous Autumn oil on canvas board landscape, probably of the hills in the Hudson River Valley, by the noted American artist William Louis Sonntag (1822-1900). Signed in the lower right. Sonntag was born near Pittsburgh, PA and moved to Cincinnati, OH in the 1840’s to study art. He studied for a brief time with G. Frankenstein at the Cincinnati Academy of Fine Art and his idealized paintings of American wilderness and visionary paintings of imagined European ruins were commercially successful. He traveled twice to Europe in the 1850’s to improve his skills, eventually settling in New York City. He joined the National Academy of Design, where he exhibited his works for forty years. His mature works identify him with the Hudson River School of landscape painters. A romantic and naturalistic painter of his surroundings, Sonntag also created idealized paintings of Roman ruins, recalling his European trips of earlier years. Sonntag was an Associate (1860) and Academician (1861) at the National Academy of Design, and a member of the American Watercolor Society, Artists Fund Society, and the American Art Union...
