Painting from Thomas Crown Affair (1999)
Hello,
During one of the final scenes, the painting below is shown briefly. Does anyone know what this piece is or who the artist is? I've been searching for several days now, but no luck. Thanks!  |

Here is the whole painting
http://www.galerie-orientaliste.com/...ref=130.08-290 But this site is wrong, giving this painting to Eugène Fromentin. In fact, it is a painting by Théodore Chassériau 1819-1856 in the Museum of the Chateau de Versailles. And they are wrong twice, this is a portrait of Ali ben Ahmet, caliph of Constantine and not of Moulay Abd al Raman, sultan of Morocco. They make a medley with a portrait of Abd al Raman by Eugène Delacroix http://historyofphoto.arts.usf.edu/hop/nochlin.html Last edited by saintmarc : March 31st, 2010 at 02:31 AM. |
