Alexis Auguste Delahogue (1867-1953) was a French 19th Century painter who specialized in scenes from Algeria and neighboring countries.
He was considered an orientalist painter, which refers to a representation of the East in Western art which often blurred the line between fantasy and reality.
Travelling with his twin brother Eugène, Delahogue painted landscapes and genre scenes borrowed from the Maghreb (the region of North Africa bordering the Mediterranean Sea), travelling in all directions with a predilection for Tunisia.
Delahogue was a member of the Société des Peintres Orientalistes and the Société des Artistes Algériens et Orientalistes.
Although there is not a lot of background information on the artist, he was known a prolific painter of vibrant scenes of Algerian life.
Delahogue was able to capture the everyday lives of people from Algiers to El Kantara and Biskra. 
He delighted in painting camels, desert caravans, oases, and various personalities he met on his travels.

I don’t often see paintings of other worlds, other cultures. When I came across him his art struck a chord within. Too bad there’s not more around about him.
