After his visit to Algeria in the 1840s, he emphasized the exotic, romantic elements in his painting, while still adhering to classical techniques. Among his best-known works are the Two Sisters, Arabian Challenge, and Tepidarium (all: Louvre). His mural decorations for the Cour des Comptes of the Palais d Orsay, Paris, were destroyed except for a few fragments preserved in the Louvre. His untimely death cut short a brilliant career.   Related Paintings of Theodore Chasseriau :. | Two Sisters | Le Coucher de Desdemone | Dimensions and material of painting | Orientalist Interior | The Tepidarium |
