About the Item
Auguste-Alexandre Hirsch (Lyon, 1833 - Paris, 1911)
Scene in Arab town
Oil on canvas, 65 x 52 cm
With frame 83.5 x 70 cm
French painter Auguste-Alexandre Hirsch (Lyon 1833-Paris 1911) studied at the Lyon School of Fine Arts before joining the atelier of Hippolyte Flandrin (1809-1864) and Charles Gleyre (1806-1874). From 1857 he exhibited in many salons, including the Salon des Artistes Français, the Société des Artistes Français, and at the Universal Exhibitions. He produced portraits, genre scenes, history paintings and lithographs. In 1870 he traveled to Morocco with Antoine Lecomte, going to Tangier for a time and then settling in Tetuan. This visit inspired his mature period: his focus thus turned to the female figure and Orientalist themes. Hirsch was inspector of drawing teaching at the Administration de Beaux Arts in 1879 and inspector of departmental museums in 1887. He wrote the article "Practical Perspective" for the Dictionary of Pedagogy and Primary Education.
Like Lecomte, he mainly portrays the Jewish community, which is particularly numerous in this city, as in The Little Jew of Tetuan and Religious Instructions in Morocco. However, he does not fail to depict Muslims as well, as in the works Return of the Hadjis (c. 1880), Moroccans at the Bath, Portrait of a Moroccan. In the canvas under review, the composition is very poetic and representative of the artist's talent; the young women seem to float lightly around the typical Arab buildings that dominate the composition. The resulting image is a happy combination of a studied light-filled landscape, the painter's brilliant portraiture intuition, and academic painting, that is, between a real image and a dream. The work can thus be traced to the artist's second mature period, depicting a glimpse of a city that can be identified with Tetuan. The painting is distinguished by the light that seems to come directly from the canvas: looking at it, the illusion of sunlight reflecting off the white walls of the buildings is evident. Also admirable is the perspective expertise with which the intricate alleys typical of Arab architecture were rendered: there are multiple vanishing points that allow the scene
