The Casbah Of Algiers. Jules Rousset (1840-1921)

Beautiful view of an alley in the Casbah of Algiers painted on the motif. A beautiful atmosphere rendered by the powerful effects of light and by a certain simplicity excluding any anecdote, inviting us perhaps more to imagine the sounds of the city than to be satisfied with a gratuitous picturesque.

He was a student of Léon Cogniet and Isidore Pils at the Beaux-Arts in Paris and exhibited at the salon from 1867. He exhibited paintings on Algeria in 1888 at the Blois salon.
