Catalogue Note
Ce peintre américain s'installe à Paris à 19 ans, et entre dans l'atelier de Jean-Léon Gérôme. Un premier voyage en Algérie en 1871 a une influence décisive sur sa carrière. Il éclaircit fortement sa palette et se consacre à la peinture orientaliste. Il explore l'Algérie et en rapporte de nombreux dessins, études et photographies qui l'inspireront sa vie durant. Il se fixe à Paris en 1887, et y expose régulièrement. Il expose également à Londres et aux Etats Unis où ses tableaux, d'une technique parfaite et d'un coloris éclatant, connaissent un grand succès.
