CHARLES-THÉODORE FRÈRE (1814-1888), GYZEH ; ENVIRONS DU CAIRE (ÉGYPTE), OIL ON CANVAS, UNLINED, IN ITS ORIGINAL FRAME

A pupil of Coignet (1794-1880) and Roqueplan (1803-1855), Théodore Frère (1814-1888) was one of the few French artists to paint some of the more remote cities of the Orient, such as Beirut and Palmyra. He exhibited at the Salon from 1834, but it was not until 1839 that he began to show Orientalist scenes, a genre to which he remained faithful throughout his life.
His talents enabled him to make a name for himself in Egypt, where he became the government's official painter, and was even honoured by the government with the title of Bey. While there, he had plenty of time to admire the extraordinary landscapes, which he rendered with precision in a palette made of ‘gold, silver and azure’, as Théophile Gautier (1811-1872) said of the painter's lighting effects (see L. Thornton, The Orientalists, Painter-Travelers 1828-1908, Paris, 1983, p. 52).
Our painting, like the painting of the same subject sold at Christie's (see anonymous sale, Christie's, London, 18 June 1998, lot 200), now in the Dahesh Museum of Art (New York, Along the Nile at Gyzeh), is evidence his mastery in capturing light and his famous ‘bite of dawn’, which gives a backlighting effect against the pyramids of Giza.
