A Chemin Del Biar (algiers) By M.ferrand Around 1900

It is in the country of Algiers that the painter M.Ferrand takes us in this painting along the El Biar path, there we discover an intense light where we can sense the rays of the sun seeping into every corner of the this dirt road. The painting represents a walker who climbs fairly tortuous and difficult paths, daring to face this heat-filled path barefoot. This Orientalist painting therefore makes us discover the shimmering colors of scenes of daily life from the Algeria of yesteryear. Once again this type of painting shows the fascination of painters for this country with its rich culture, from 1830 to 1930. The oil on canvas is in its original wooden frame decorated with a golden laurel molding, and having retained its nameplate from the painting: A path to El Biar.

A good number of paths lead to the innumerable wells of a green village, populated by Moorish houses, nestled in gardens flowered with roses, jasmine, honeysuckle, between which wind fresh paths half buried under century-old olive trees El Biar, fut first a district of beautiful gardens, which ends up forming a village then a very busy summer and winter resort at an altitude of 240 meters, built on a wooded plateau from which the bay of Algiers and Kabylia can be seen.
