Collection particulière, France. Peintre autrichien, ancien élève de l"Académie des Beaux-Arts de Vienne, c"est à Paris que Ernst débute sa carrière de peintre de genre, peignant de grandes compositions académiques. C"est l"époque des voyages pour les peintres, et l"Espagne a remplacé l"Italie. Ernst y découvre la civilisation hispano-mauresque à Grenade. Il voyage jusqu"à Tanger, et découvre sa source d"inspiration future. Il commence à peindre des tableaux orientalistes, voyage à Constantinople et reçoit de nombreuses commandes. Il est l"un des peintres du célèbre marchand Goupil. Ernst est l"un des maîtres de la peinture orientaliste avec des œuvres de qualité, quasi photographiques, bien que souvent œuvres d"imagination. Il n"hésite pas à mélanger les accessoires venant de différents pays s"attachant plus à l"esthétisme qu"à la véracité des décors et costumes. Rudolf Ernst, an Austrian painter studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. He went to Paris where he started his career as a genre painter, representing large academic compositions. It was a time when artists travelled abroad a lot. After Italy, Spain became the main destination. Ernst discovered the Moorish civilization in Granada, Spain. He travelled to Tangiers, and discovered a new source of inspiration. He started to represent Orientalist scenes, went to Constantinople and received numerous orders. His dealer was the famous art merchant Goupil. Ernst is one of the masters of Orientalist paintings. Even if his paintings are imaginary works they are impressive by their almost photographic quality. He does not hesitate to mingle accessories from different countries focusing more on aesthetics than the veracity of the settings and costumes.
