It's hard not to think of El Biar, where S.M. Ham Ngi lives in exile, far from his native land. Rochegrosse, a friend of the Emperor as evidenced by his abundant correspondence, painted the same motif of luxuriant, heat-crushed nature, devoid of any human presence, as did S.M Ham Ngi, who, at the turn of the 1900s, painted the natural world around him on a daily basis.
