Beyrouth, Retour De Fantasia 1885 - 1890

"Beyrouth, Retour De Fantasia" is a landscape painting by Félix Ziem, a prominent French Orientalist painter. Created between 1885-1890, the work captures a serene scene of the Lebanese coastline, showcasing Ziem's signature loose brushwork and painterly style. The painting depicts a group of figures by a lake, with the mountains in the distance. Ziem's use of light and color is characteristic of his Orientalist work, lending a sense of warmth and tranquility to the scene. The figures, subtly rendered, add a sense of human scale to the vast landscape.
