Artist
Marc-Charles-Gabriel Gleyre
Marc-Charles-Gabriel Gleyre is an Orientalism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Marc Gleyre painted delicate watercolors of Egyptian ruins and palms during the 1830s, when Europe was gripped by Egyptomania. He left a single known sheet, *Palm trees at Karnak, Thebes*, rendered in glowing washes that freeze the heat of a vanished temple court. If you like sun-baked ruins and old travel sketches, tap into Gleyre’s lone piece—then step next door to his pupil’s sunlit landscapes, where the story of light begins.
