The Throne Room in Byzantium by Benjamin Jean Joseph Constant, 1880
Academician / French / Greco-Roman / Neoclassical / Paintings (Reproductions) - 1 year ago - troycapc
This work is by Benjamin Jean Joseph Constant, a French artist who studied in Spain and the Middle East in his later twenties. He had studied under Alexandre Cabanel in Paris and in the 1880’s succeeded his teacher at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. In 1888 he took over the Academie Julian and abandoned his oriental work in favor of portraiture. He died in 1902.
This depiction is of the Christian throne room of the Eastern Roman Empire, or Byzantium, during the later period, probably the Fourteenth Century. It is a fanciful work, yet the artist went to great pains to reproduce the scene to the best of his knowledge and ability. This work is currently in a private collection.
