Description
Félix ZIEM (1821–1911) Garden in Naples. 1847 Pencil and gouache Signed, dated and localised in the lower right-hand corner 23 x 31 cm An internationally renowned travel painter and a leading figure of the Barbizon School, Félix Ziem is one of the key masters of 19th-century luminous landscape painting. With close ties to the Midi region through his studio in Martigues, he was the first artist to have a work acquired by the Louvre during his lifetime. His popularity stems from his unique mastery of the reflections on water and oriental light. Fascinated by the Mediterranean, Ziem undertook several journeys to the Levant from 1847 onwards, spending extended periods in Constantinople, Egypt and Smyrna. Moving away from rigid architectural detail, he focused on the atmosphere and the play of light on the sea to offer a poetic vision of these landscapes he loved so dearly.
