Artist Biography: Eugene Fromentin, born Oct. 24, 1820 and died in Aug. 27, 1876. He was a French painter and author, best known for his depictions of the land and people of Algeria. Influenced successively by Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot and Eugene Delacroix, Fromentin abandoned his early stiffness in design and execution and developed into a brilliant colourist.
Fromentin's paintings show only one side of a talent that was perhaps even more felicitously expressed in literature; "Dominique," first published in the Revue des Deux Mondes in 1862 and dedicated to George Sand, is remarkable among the fiction of the century for imaginative observation. Fromentin's other literary works are Visites artistiques ou Simples Pelerinages (1852-56; "Artistic Visits or Simple Pilgrimages"); Un Ete dans le Sahara (1857; "A Summer in the Sahara"); Une Annee dans le Sahel (1858; "A Year in the Sahel"); and Les Maitres d'autrefois (1876; The Old Masters of Belgium and Holland, or The Masters of Past Time).
