Frederick Arthur Bridgman was an Orientalist painter who hailed from Tuskegee, Alabama, studied under Jean-Léon Gérôme in Paris, visited the French Maghreb, and became known as the "American Gerome." His masterful technique and superb application of color rendered in "North African Courtyard" are emblematic of this fine artist. This wonderful Mixed-Media tableau is perfect for Period decorating and luxury homes in Naples, Florida.
