Sahara Artwork - European Birds Volume I Set:D Christian BérardThis series of original bird paintings presented in gilded bamboo frames is our homage to the great Giuseppe Castiglione. Castiglione pioneered the fusion of European and Chinese traditions, a theme very close to our hearts here at Fromental. Having acquired around 400 coloured prints of European birds created from works painted by French ornithological artists in the 1950s, we selected our favourites to be interpreted by our own skilled artists.
