He travelled there several times during his career, storing up a stock of images that he could turn into pictures to satisfy the French taste for oriental subjects. \u003cspan class=\"dokuwiki_italic\"\u003eThe Banks of the Nile\u003c\/span\u003e of 1874 was painted five years after he had visited Egypt to witness the opening of the Suez Canal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dokuwiki_paragraph\"\u003eIt is a poetic image of river life: a gentle breeze pushes a felucca along while other small boats ply their trade and Arabs chat on the river bank. Fromentin gave this everyday scene a familiar air by using the techniques of Dutch Golden Age maritime painters such as Willem van de Velde, father and son, who had painted Dutch ships in moments of sunlit calm. Fromentin shows that the life of the river is the same the world over.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/eugene-fromentin-the-banks-of-the-nile\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - The Banks of the Nile\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/eugene-fromentin-the-banks-of-the-nile\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - The Banks of the Nile\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eugène Fromentin","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":49252879302899,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (21 1\/4\" x 31\")","offer_id":49302274801907,"sku":null,"price":1185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (14 3\/4\" x 21 5\/8\")","offer_id":49252879368435,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (18 1\/8\" x 26 1\/2\")","offer_id":49252879401203,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (22 1\/4\" x 32 3\/8\")","offer_id":49252879433971,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (28 5\/8\" x 41 7\/8\")","offer_id":49252879466739,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (34 3\/8\" x 50 1\/4\")","offer_id":49252879499507,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (40 1\/2\" x 59 1\/8\")","offer_id":49252879532275,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (48 5\/8\" x 71\")","offer_id":49252879565043,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/EugeneFromentin-TheBanksoftheNile-product.jpg?v=1781388466","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/the-banks-of-the-nile","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
