From Romania to Greece and Turkey to Egypt: the passion for travel that the Parisian painter Jean Lecomte du Nouÿ followed throughout his literally eventful life left clear traces in his work. Thus his most important works, which can be assigned to Orientalism, bear titles such as "Arabs at Prayer", "The Harem Gate, Souvenir of Cairo" or "View of the Kasbah from my Terrace". But the history, portrait and genre painter is also known for his mythological and religious motifs. He painted, for example, a portrait of the biblical Judith or the work "Job and his friends". He was also inspired by Dante's "Divine Comedy" and the tragedies of the ancient Greeks. In addition, Jean Lecomte du Nouÿ as a sculptor created numerous sculptures and sculptures.
He had learned his craft from Charles Gleyre, Jean-Léon Gérôme and Émile Signol, all of them main representatives of the Neo-Greek art movement, which their student also joined. He made his debut at the Paris Salon at the age of 21. Later, too, he was to participate regularly in the exhibitions there. This earned him a medal of honor in 1863 for his work "The Invocation of Neptune". And this was not to remain the only recognition he received at a young age. For example, the French government acquired his painting "The Messengers of Bad News before Pharaoh" for the Luxembourg Museum and also commissioned him to paint two large compositions to decorate the church of La Trinité in Paris, focusing on Saint Vincent. In 1876 Jean Lecomte du Nouÿ, himself Catholic and extremely conservative, married Valentine Peigné-Crémieux, who came from a Jewish family. The union with the granddaughter of Senator Adolphe Crémieux was less a personal than a financial stroke of luck. For even after the death of his first wife, the artist remained closely connected with her influential family - which enabled him to travel to distant countries. Thus it happened that the artist not only participated in the Paris World's Fair of 1878 and 1889, but was also represented at the salons of Cairo and Alexandria.
In the 90s of the 19th century, Jean Lecomte du Nouÿ then turned increasingly to the more lucrative portrait painting. Among others, he painted portraits of members of the Romanian royal family, including Charles I of Romania and his wife Elizabeth. While the portraits may well be described as sophisticated, his other paintings are distinguished by their fine characteristics and cool, matte coloring. The most famous of his works is probably "The White Slave". In addition to his extensive oeuvre, Jean Lecomte du Nouÿ also left other traces in the (art) world: while his marriage to Valentine and also that to his third wife Térésa Marie Fisanne remained childless, his second wife Caroline Evrard gave him the son Jacques Théodore Jules, who would later become a well-known architect and archaeologist. His paintings and sculptures can be found today in numerous museums and collections. Moreover, since 1932 a street in Paris bears his name.
