Charles Theodore Frere Art
French, 1814-1888
Theodore Frere was a French Orientalist painter. Though he originally painted European landscapes, Frere became enamored with the “Eastern” world following his trip to Algeria and began to exclusively paint its exoticized scenes. Frere also traveled to Egypt, Greece, Turkey, and Syria, where he produced paintings that he exhibited in French salons starting in 1855. His Orientalist style drew the attention of the French public, and he received awards in 1848 and 1865 for his work.to

By Charles Théodore Frère
Located in Jacksonville, FL

Description:
Charles Theodore Frere was a renowned artist known for his exceptional ability to capture the essence of distant landscapes and cultures in his artwork.

In this painting, Frere masterfully portrays a far dimension, transporting viewers to a distant world. The composition centers around an Arab culture’s ritual bath, a place of serenity and purification.
