Charles Brun enrolled in 1847 at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he studied under the direction of François-Edouard Picot (1786-1868) then Alexandre Cabanel (1823-1889). His participation in the Salon began in 1851 with genre subjects (Young girl doing her morning prayer), but from 1853, he regularly sent Orientalist scenes, located in Algeria (La Prière in 1859, Rendez-vous à Constantine in 1861, Moorish Woman in 1867), of great architectural rigor, animated by sharp contrasts in the lighting effects and showing a fine sensitivity in the modulations of gray. In addition to his numerous landscapes of Algeria, he also became known 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 is also the author of church decorations, including that of Villemomble (Martyrdom of Saint Laurent, 1857). Brun became a member of the French Artists from 1883.
