Alexandre-Gabriel Decamp
(1803 - 1860)
Alexandre-Gabriel Decamps was a French painter noted for his Orientalist works.
Decamps was the founding father of Orientalism since he revealed everyday Oriental life in the 1831 Salon in Paris. His subjects and style with strong contrast of light and thick material became the reference for painters but also photographers and writers. He was the most influential painter on Orientalism and was proclaimed the chief of the new Orientalist School.
