(1860-1938)

Born in Lebanon, Srour was ten years old when his parents moved to Rome. He studied there at the Institute of Fine Arts. In 1890 he returned to Beirut after a long stay in Egypt. He taught art at the Imperial Ottoman School of Bashoura and in his own studio.

Srour was much in demand as a portrait painter of Arab religious, social or political figures in the Ottoman Empire. In 1934, the newspaper La Syrie organized a major exhibition at the Saint George Hotel in which Srour participated.
