Catalogue Note
Premier pensionnaire en 1907, avec le peintre Léon Cauvy, de la Villa Abd-el-Tif à Alger, équivalent de la Villa Médicis à Rome, Jouve avait obtenu une bourse de deux années pour y travailler. Cette œuvre fut réalisée en 1908, d’après un sujet pris sur le vif, dans le Sud algérien à la même époque. A l’origine le tableau était beaucoup plus grand (environ 3 mètres de long). Coupée afin de recentrer la composition et renforcer la prière et l'intensité symbolique, elle resta la propriété de l’artiste toute sa vie.
Along with Léon Cauvy, Paul Jouve received a two year award to work as the first resident of the Villa Abd-el-Tif in Algiers, equivalent to the Villa Médicis in Rome.This work, executed in 1908, was taken from a daily life subject of southern Algeria. Initially, the painting was much larger (approximately 3 meters long), but it was altered by the painter himself to focus the subject on the praying man, and remained in his possession up to his death in 1973.
