| Abstract: | Antoine de Favray, a French High Baroque painter, arrived in Malta in 1744 after six years residence at the French Academy in Rome. His flamboyant portraits of knights and ladies in quaint costumes met immediate success. While his fascination for Oriental mores induced him in 1761 to sail for Constantinople on board the 'Corona Ottomana' on its restitution to the Sublime Porte. In the course of the next ten years, Favray became a celebrated Orientalist artist until he returned to Malta in 1771. The following two studies focus on Favray's activities in his first Maltese sojourn. |
