EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a self-portrait of Alfred Couverchel, an accomplished romantic Orientalist painter from the 19th century. Couverchel, who was once a pupil of the renowned Horace Vernet, achieved great success in his career. The image captures his striking features and intense gaze, revealing both his artistic talent and inner depth. The self-portrait is accompanied by intriguing historical context. In 1862, Couverchel embarked on numerous voyages to the Algerian Sahara under the guidance of Commander V. Colomieu. These journeys allowed him to immerse himself in the vibrant culture and exotic landscapes of North Africa, which greatly influenced his artwork. Engraved for "Le tour du monde" edited by Edouard Charton in 1863, this print provides us with a glimpse into Couverchel's adventurous spirit and dedication to capturing the essence of Orientalism through art. It is part of Selvas collection and has been preserved as a testament to Couverchel's significant contributions to the art world. Leonard de Selva holds exclusive rights over this remarkable photograph that transports viewers back in time to witness both Couverchel's self-expression and his exploration of foreign lands. As we admire this piece today, we are reminded not only of its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance within the realm of Romanticism and Orientalist painting.
