Alexandre Bida was born in Toulouse, France, and 

specialised in Orientalism and studied under Eugène Delacroix, but with an artist’s eye for precision 

and perfection, he soon developed his own style.

During Bida’s youth, he travelled and worked 

in Egypt, Greece, Turkey, Lebanon, and Palestine. 

He became well known for his exhibition shows 

during the period between 1847 and 1861.

He was also an illustrator of the Holy Bible. 

As a Bible illustrator, Bida’s “Les Saints Evangeles” 

was published in 1873. In it, the four Gospels were 

enriched by his twenty-eight etchings.[2]

Of Bida’s work, it was said that he brought a truth and genius that made his Christ reverent, refined, dignified, and strong. He died in Buhl, Germany in 1895 at the age of eighty-two.[3]
