About the Item

Passage Along the Shore by Victor Pierre Huguet (1835-1902) Oil on canvas 15 x 23 inches unframed (38.1 x 58.42 cm) 21 x 29 inches framed (53.34 x 73.66 cm) Signed on bottom right Description: In this piece, Victor Pierre Huguet depicts five men traveling along a sandy shore. Of the five travelers depicted, three are riding horses, one is riding a camel, and one is following on foot. Their gazes are split among the journey ahead and each other as if keeping conversation along the way. The lower third of the composition is comprised of the sandy shore covered in stones, encroaching grass, and crashing waves of water. The upper two-thirds of the composition is filled with tall voluminous clouds that mostly cover a bright blue sky. Huguet 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.
