Biography

Louis Dupré had been a student of the Neoclassical French painter Jacques-Louis David and had later worked as a painter for Jérôme Bonaparte, receiving commissions from the French court. Dupré had studied painting in Italy and had also received commissions during his travels there.

He travelled to Ottoman Greece, during a time when the country's ancient ideals and Hellenistic culture had experienced a revival among the Greek population. It also represented a concerning time for the Ottoman Empire, in terms of keeping their territorial regions under control.[1] His visit to Greece was on the very eve of the Greek War of Independence (1821–1832), which led to the Greek victory and establishment of the First Hellenic Republic (1822–1832) and its successor state, the Kingdom of Greece (1832–1924).

He often traveled and changed his work location, including Paris, Kassel (1811–1814), Naples (1814–1816), Rome (1816–1819, 1824–1831), Naples (1819–1820), Constantinople (c. 1820), Greece (c. 1820), Paris (1820–1837), and Vienna (1820–1824).

Travel book

Dupré visited Greece in 1819, while it was still a region within the Ottoman Empire, and recorded his time there with drawings and descriptions of the people from the different levels of society. His travel book, named Voyage à Athènes et à Constantinople, was produced a few years later after his travels, in 1825. It was written in French and published in the Restored Kingdom of France, after Greece had begun its revolution for independence and rebelled against the Ottoman Empire. His travel book consists of forty illustrations accompanied by fifty-two pages of text.[2]
