L'orientale. Charles Zacharie Landelle (French, 1812-1908). Oil on canvas.After voyages to North Africa and the Middle East in 1860, Landelle produced a number of Orientalist works. He also visited Morocco in 1866, but went as part of an official delegation rather than as a painter. In 1875, he went to Egypt and sailed the Nile with the explorer, Auguste-Édouard Mariette. Every year after, he made painting trips to Algeria. He became known as the peintre des fellahs (painter of fellahs). -- source link
