Victor-Pierre Huguet

Victor-Pierre Huguet is an Impressionism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Victor-Pierre Huguet painted scenes of North Africa in the 1860s, when French artists traveled to Algeria to record its landscapes and daily life. In *Arabs and Camels beside a Tomb, Algeria* he used watercolour to show a quiet moment beside a simple grave, with two camels and a group of travelers pausing in the dunes. His small, portable paintings let him capture light and shadow in quick strokes. Step next to the same watercolour to see how the paper keeps its bright colours after 160 years.
