Louis-François Casas is an outstanding French landscape painter, sculptor, architect and orientalist. The future artist was born on June 3, 1756, in the city of Azay-les-Ferron in the family of a craftsman. When he was fifteen, he began to earn money as a draftsman's apprentice. In 1775 - 1778, thanks to the patronage of Aignan-Thomas Desfriches and Louis-Auguste de Rohan, he studied painting at the Paris Academy. In 1778, together with one of his patrons, he left for Italy, where he remained until 1783.
During his stay in Italy, the artist makes many drawings of the historical sites of the Apennine Peninsula, Sicily and Istria. From 1784 to 1786, Casas worked at the French Embassy in the Ottoman Empire. Accompanying Ambassador Auguste de Choiseul-Gufier on his trips, the painter traveled all over the Middle East, Greece, Cyprus and Egypt. The result was about 250 drawings that were included in the work published in 1799 "Voyage Pittoresque de la Syrie, de la Phenicie, de la Palestine, et de la Basse Egypte"
