Charles Landelle built his name on faces, and a painter that devoted to the human likeness gives counted cross stitch exactly the kind of subject it thrives on.
He was French, born in 1821 and died in 1908, and portraiture was his working life. Where his reputation really settled, though, is on the Orientalist paintings he made after looking beyond Europe for his sitters, pictures like Jewish Woman from Tangiers of 1874. The single figure, closely observed, is the thread running through nearly everything he left behind, whether the subject was a North African tailor or a nymph out of myth.
Landelle studied under Paul Delaroche.
If it is the painting itself you love rather than the stitching, Charles Landelle art prints are easy to find.
