1895

About the Item

Large Orientalist painting of an evening landscape by Lazerges French, 1895 Canvas: Height 74cm, width 100cm Frame: Height 105.5cm, width 131cm, depth 8cm This super Orientalist landscape is by the French Orientalist painter Paul Jean Baptiste Lazerges (1845-1902). Depicting a group of Arab travellers taking a moment of rest, this evening scene is notable for its sensitive handling of light and composition. The figures are depicted in repose, lounging against rocks or sheltering beneath a makeshift tent. The atmosphere is tranquil, with very little activity taking place, making the viewer feel as if they are witnessing a completely unposed scene. All of the figures are dressed in neutral robes that stand out against the green backdrop. Beside the tent, one figure tends to a small fire, and Lazerges has skilfully rendered a plume of smoke extending from the flames. Two cattle can be seen grazing on the grass beside the tent. The rural setting adds to the tranquil atmosphere. The left side of the canvas is populated by several leafy trees, providing shade to the resting figures. To the right, the grassy plains extend right to the horizon, meeting mountains shrouded in shadow. The artist’s handling of light is particularly impressive, with the exceptional pale orange sunset in the background reflected in the dusky light that surrounds the figures. The painting is ensconced in an unusual, painted giltwood frame, which is a later addition. The canvas is signed and dated ‘Paul Lazerges 1895’ to the lower right. With its evocative atmosphere and impressive colours, this superb Orientalist scene would suit any interior.
