Louis Ferdinand Antoni (1872—1940) was a French Orientalist painter and sculptor. Not long after his birth, his family moved from Corsica to Algeria. There, he studied at the Collège St-Charles in Blida, then at the Lycée in Algiers. He was there only a short time before transferring to the Ecole des Beaux-Arts d'Alger, where he studied with Hippolyte Dubois. In 1892, he obtained a scholarship that enabled him to study in Paris; at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts, and in the studios of Léon Bonnat. His primary artistic influences were Eugène Delacroix and the Impressionists.
