One of the most talented disciples of Claude Joseph Vernet (1714-1789), Henry d'Arles owed his sobriquet to his native town of Arles. He became a pupil of Vernet in 1754, and subsequently undertook a two-year stay in Rome funded by his patron Jean-Baptiste Rey. On his return to the south of France, he won the Prix de Peinture at the Marseille Academy, and was later appointed Professor at the Academy of Toulouse in 1776.
His precise rendering of light is clearly demonstrated in this fine pair of views, each reflecting his extensive and dedicated studies from nature. Evidently inspired by his master’s style, the pictures date from the very end of his career, executed in 1784, the year of his death.
