The artist stayed regularly in Algeria and Tunisia, producing orientalist works during his travels which were presented at the Colonial Exhibition in Marseille in 1931. note: Vincent Manago is an artist who made "replicas with variants" of his own paintings, which explains why we find several versions of this theme of "Animated Street" / see on Google-images: there is for example a version very close to the painting proposed here which is kept at the Cantini Museum in Marseille / see last pictures.
