Özet:

The French artist Charles Doussault was one of the traveller-painters of the 19th century.  He was trained by Achille Déveria but there is only limited information about his life and career since he was neglected by the researcher in comparison with the most of other Orientalists of the period. Doussault visited Ottoman lands in 1846 and made a portrait of Sultan Abdulmecid. Doussault was supported by the former French ambassador to Constantinople Adolphe Billecocq for this visit and order. He also went to Holy Lands and represented numerous Orientalist paintings and exhibited them at the Paris Salon between 1834-1870. He painted not only the Oriental cities, but also Bucharest and any other cities where he had been. Charles Doussault, unified in his paintings landscape, architecture and the figures dressed in local costumes and gave a special attention the architectural details.
