Etienne Dinet studied at the Académie Julian under T. Robert-Fleury
and W.A. Bouguereau. He began to exhibit at the Salon in 1882 with
portraits and religious subjects, until a trip to Algeria in 1884
instilled in him a lifelong fascination and admiration for the Algerian
people and their culture. For the next twenty years he divided his
time between France and Algeria before finally moving to Bou-Saada
in 1904. |
