Charles Brun enrolled at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1847, where he studied under François-Edouard Picot (1786-1868) and Alexandre Cabanel (1823-1889). His participation in the Salon began in 1851 with genre subjects (Jeune fille faisant sa prière du matin), but by 1853, he was regularly sending Orientalist scenes, set in Algeria (La Prière in 1859, Rendez-vous à Constantine in 1861, Femme Mauresque in 1867), of great architectural rigor, animated by sharp contrasts in lighting effects and showing a fine sensitivity in the modulations of gray. In addition to his many Algerian landscapes, he also made a name for himself as a military portraitist, painting uniforms with precision, and naturally became an official painter at the Ministry of War, where he collaborated with Alexandre Cabanel. He also decorated churches, including the one in Villemomble (Martyre de saint Laurent, 1857). Brun became a member of the Artistes Français in 1883.
