Catalogue Note
Etienne Dinet, fasciné par l'Algérie dès son premier voyage en 1885, y passe une grande partie de sa vie. Il s'attache à peindre l'Algérie avec un vrai souci de véracité qui provient de son profond respect pour l'Islam, religion à laquelle il s'est converti, et pour le peuple algérien.
Le cachet que porte notre huile sur papier signifie El Hadj Nacer ad Dine, il fut apposé par la soeur de l'artiste sur toutes les oeuvres non signées qui restaient à l'atelier après la mort de Dinet.
