A specialist in orientalist painting, she exhibited regularly at the Salon des Artiste Français from 1879. She painted famous religious and military scenes, landscapes of Brittany and Holland, as well as portraits of women adorned with pink and black satin, in the style of Manet. But it was above all her paintings of Algeria and Tunisia that brought her great success. In particular, she depicted numerous market scenes, date picking, weavers and washerwomen. She was also an active exhibitor at the Société Coloniale des Artistes Français and the Salon de la Société des Peintres Orientalistes Français, presenting brightly colored canvases that transformed the small towns of the Maghreb into dazzling fairylands of juxtaposed touches. She also participated in the Marseille Colonial Exhibitions in 1906 and 1922. Marie Lucas-Robiquet received several awards, including a third-class medal in 1894 and a second-class medal in 1905. She was decorated with the Order of the Legion of Honor. Her vibrantly colored canvases reflect an idealized vision of the rural condition, transforming it into a theater stage, as for example in her paintings “Arab Interior in Orellal” and “Date Harvest in Algeria.” She also dealt with familiar scenes while continuing her career as a portrait painter in Europe, the United States and South America Type:Oil Style:1920 Genre:Orientalism Theme:World Countries, Travel
