Oriental landscape painting of French painter Henri Duvieux.

Henri Duvieux

Henri Duvieux (1855-1902) was an artist who was influenced by an interest in Orientalism, a common concern of many artists from the mid to late 19th century.

Duvieux made his debut at the Paris Salon in 1880 with views of Venise and Constantinopl. Most of these views showed aspects of the sea, for example in the tradition of Canaletto in the 18th century.

Duvieux used impressionistic colors that resembled Turner's seascapes to convey intense light and brilliant sunsets and sunrises. He combined the elements of Orientalism with the established tradition of sea motifs from earlier masters, although more modern tendencies can also be seen in his work.

The date of his death is unknown.
