Tristram Ellis, British 1844-1922-A Tripoli Bazaar; and The Kadisha, Tripoli, 1880; watercolours, both measuring 46 x 54 cm (framed)(2)Note:Tristram Ellis was an English artist renowned for his depictions of the Middle East and the eastern Mediterranean. Born in Great Malvern, his early years were spent in Bath, Clifton, and Edinburgh before attending Queenwood College in Hampshire. In 1862, Ellis enrolled at King's College, London, where, in his second year, he achieved the highest distinction ever recorded in the Applied Sciences department. He won all the available scholarships and earned the title of Associate of King's College after just two years, recognizing his extraordinary accomplishments. Following his time at university, Ellis completed a pupillage under the railway engineer Sir John Fowler and became a partner in an engineering firm. However, after several years, he felt his true passion lay in art. With the financial means to support himself, he chose to leave engineering behind and dedicated himself entirely to oil painting. Several of Ellis's early oil paintings were displayed at the Royal Academy, and he soon moved to Paris to study under Léon Bonnat. After completing his studies in Paris, Ellis began traveling to sketch scenes from foreign lands. In 1878, he spent six months in Cyprus, then under British rule, where he contracted a fever. Despite this setback, he returned with 50 to 60 watercolour sketches, which were exhibited on Bond Street in April 1879 and sold to a dealer. This success inspired him to plan a more ambitious journey. On 1 October 1879, Ellis boarded a steamship for Alexandria, intending to visit Syria, Asia Minor, and Mesopotamia. His travels took him from the Syrian coast, overland to Diyarbakir in southeast Turkey, and then by raft down the Tigris River to Mosul and Baghdad in Iraq. From Baghdad, Ellis journeyed overland to Palmyra and Damascus in Syria, then continued to Beirut, Lebanon. Upon his return, he exhibited around 90 sketches from his travels, all of which sold immediately. He also wrote a two-volume illustrated account of his journey, On a Raft, and Through the Desert, which was published in 1881. Ellis's next adventure took him to Egypt in the spring of 1882. He spent three weeks at the Pyramids, staying with the Egyptologist Flinders Petrie, and left the country in May, just before the massacre in Alexandria on 11 June 1882, which led to the Anglo-Egyptian War. A few years later, Ellis returned to the eastern Mediterranean, spending time in Athens, where three of his sketches were selected by George I of Greece.

Fest auf Unterlage kaschiert, unter Passepartout und Glas gerahmt. Provenienz: Privatbesitz, Berlin. - Ernst Albert Fischer-Cörlin studierte in Berlin an der Preußischen Akademie der Künste bei deren Direktor Eduard Daege und dem eng mit der Düsseldorfer Schule verbundenen Julius Schrader. Er arbeitete im Anschluss als Meisterschüler des Historienmalers Anton von Werner. Sein Kunstverständnis und seine Malweise waren stark akademisch geprägt. Das ausgehende 19. und frühe 20. Jahrhundert war bestimmt von einem wachsenden Interesse an der Natur, Botanik und Meeresbiologie, stark beeinflusst durch wissenschaftliche Fortschritte und Entdeckungen. Künstler wie Ernst Haeckel mit seinem Werk "Kunstformen der Natur" kombinierten Kunst und Wissenschaft, um die ästhetische Schönheit der Naturformen zu zeigen. Die dargestellten Algen mit ihren fließenden Linien und der Komplexität ihrer Struktur symbolisieren die Ordnung und Harmonie in der Natur, wie sie insbesondere in der Kunst des Jugendstils zum Ausdruck kommt. - Vereinzelt mit schwachen und kaum merklichen blassbraunen Fleckchen.

He subsequently worked as a master student of the history painter Anton von Werner. His understanding of art and his painting style were strongly influenced by academia. The late 19th and early 20th centuries were characterised by a growing interest in nature, botany and marine biology, strongly influenced by scientific progress and discoveries. Artists such as Ernst Haeckel with his work Art Forms of Nature combined art and science to show the aesthetic beauty of natural forms. The algae depicted with their flowing lines and the complexity of their structure symbolise the order and harmony in nature, as expressed in Art Nouveau art in particular. - Occasional faint and barely noticeable pale brown stains. Very good overall. Detailed, dynamic composition in naturalistic-like colouring, the colours fresh.
