Charles Théodore Frère
Departure of the Caravan

1855

About the Item

Departure of the Caravan, 1834-1887, by Theodore Frere (1814-1888) Oil on wood 10 x 16 inches unframed (25.4 x 40.64 cm) 18 ¾ x 24 ¾ inches framed (47.625 x 62.865 cm) Signed on bottom right Description: Theodore Frere was a French Orientalist painter. Though he originally painted European landscapes, Frere became enamored with the “Eastern” world following his trip to Algeria and began to exclusively paint its exoticized scenes. Frere also traveled to Egypt, Greece, Turkey, and Syria, where he produced paintings that he exhibited in French salons starting in 1855. His Orientalist style drew the attention of the French public, and he received awards in 1848 and 1865 for his work. In this oil painting, Frere depicts a subject matter common in his work: camels. He creates a palpable contrast between warm and cool tones: the yellow desert and camels are set against a vivid strip of blue sky. This segmentation of the canvas into warm and cool, sky and earth, evokes a separation of powers, with only the palm trees jutting into the space of the sky. The directionality of the camels, all facing left, signifies a collective action and movement that Frere does not divulge any information about.
