He specialised in Oriental and Mediterranean scenes in detailed watercolour or oils, very often repeating the same composition in a version in each medium. He lived for several years in a traditional mansion in Cairo, and after his return to England in 1851 he specialised in highly detailed works showing both realistic genre scenes of Middle Eastern life and more idealised scenes in upper-class Egyptian interiors with little apparent Western influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis very careful and loving representation of Islamic architecture, furnishings, screens, and costumes set new standards of realism, which influenced other artists, including the leading French Orientalist painter Jean-Léon Gérôme in his later works. Unlike many other Orientalist painters who took a salacious interest in the women of the Middle East, he \"never painted a nude\", and his wife modelled for several of his harem scenes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLewis was born in London on 14 July 1804. He was the son of Frederick Christian Lewis (1779-1856), an engraver and landscape painter, whose German father had moved to England and changed his name from Ludwig. The leading bookbinder Charles Lewis was John Frederick's uncle, and his younger brothers, another Frederick Christian and Charles George Lewis, were also artists, the latter mainly in reproductive engraving, especially after Edwin Landseer (1802-1873), a childhood neighbour and friend of John Frederick. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/lewis-john-frederick\" title=\"John Frederick Lewis\"\u003eRead more\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 27 images","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61471520489802,"sku":null,"price":3.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/John_Frederick_Lewis_27_High_Resolution_Images.jpg?v=1774965787","url":"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/products\/john-frederick-lewis-27-high-resolution-images","provider":"Public Domain Image Library","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
