Théodore FRERE (1814-1888) Street scene in Algeria (in Oran?) Oil on canvas, signed lower left. 35,5 x 27 cm Théodore Frère is one of the most beautiful painters of the Orient in the 19th century. He traveled throughout the Mediterranean basin and particularly depicted Egyptian scenes, the artist having a studio in Cairo. The painter was so famous that the Egyptian government gave him the title of "Bey". He made his last trip to the Orient in the company of Empress Eugenie on the occasion of the inauguration of the Suez Canal. Théophile Gautier, romantic poet and great traveler, speaks in his reviews of the Salon, of the long familiarity of Theodore Frère with these countries "of gold, silver and azure".
