Félix Ziem, a french painter
Ziem Felix, said Ziem, born February
25, 1821 in Beaune (Côte-d'Or)
and died November 10, 1911 in Paris,
was a French painter of the Barbizon School known for his seascapes and landscapes of Venice and Constantinople. Attached to the Orientalist movement, it is considered a precursor of Impressionism.
Théophile Gautier, who
compared Ziem’s work with that of Turner, defined his talent:”Each artist has
an ideal homeland, often far away from his own country... Ziem’s homeland is
Venice. Prolific artist, whose sustained by art
dealers active career was a great commercial success, Ziem leaves more 10 000
paintings and 6,000 drawings. The Petit
Palais, which has received a
large donation Ziem in 1905, presents a hundred
works.
