Description
Eliane BIRABENT (1897–1980), signed with her married name, LEGROIS. Great Umayyad Mosque, Damascus, Syria. Oil on canvas, signed lower right. 55.5 x 40.5 cm Provenance: the artist’s descendants Eliane Birabent (1897–1980), wife of Legrois, was born in Algeria and travelled and lived with her husband around the world, notably in Antwerp; she was a pupil of Octave Guillonnet at the JULIAN studio on Rue de Berry in Paris. Her early work was strongly influenced by Gustave Moreau. As an Orientalist painter, she developed her style towards a colourful lyricism inspired by the light of North Africa and Spain. Mountain landscapes, particularly those of Savoy, also feature prominently in her work.
