Description
Prosper Marilhat,
French 1811-1847-
A caravan at rest in a mountainous landscape;
oil on canvas, signed 'P. MARILHAT' (lower right), with 'Durand-Ruel, Paris' canvas stamp verso, 36.3 x 65 cm.
Note:
The present composition is characteristic of those by the Orientalist painter Prosper Marilhat, who studied under Camille Roqueplan (1802/3-1855) in Paris before spending two years in Egypt in 1831-32, accompanying the diplomat, explorer, and botanist Charles von Hügel (1795-1870). This experience proved formative for Marilhat, as it is the sketches from these travels which formed the basis of the artist's most successful subsequent works. Marilhat's oeuvre contains a number of expansive landscape views just like the present work, with tall palm trees punctuating the horizon, before the hazy mountains which stretch into the distance beyond.
The canvas stamp dates the painting to between 1833 and 1856, when the firm were located on Rue des Petits-Champs.
