Philipe Mourani

[France] (b 1875/d 1970)


"(..)   He obtained his diploma at the National Higher School of Fine Arts in Paris, where he studied between 1892 and 1895(..) Attracted to painting from his early childhood, Philippe Mourani traveled to Rome at the age of seventeen and worked there under Bertone. In 1901, he settled in Paris, becoming a disciple of Jean-Paul Laurens. (...)  Mourani achieved a number of accomplishments worthy of note, including the illustration of several novels for the review “L’illustration”, some archaeological research, the production of Lebanese postage stamps, the invention of new Arabic characters for printing adapted for the West, as well as the design for the famous Phoenician Hall at the 1901 Paris Fair. (...)
