Étienne Alphonse Dinet, also known as Nasr' Eddine Dinet (1861 - 1929) was a French Orientalist painter and one of the founders of the Société des Peintres Orientalistes, who lived in Algeria for more than 30 years. Dinet's understanding of Arab culture and language set him apart from other Orientalist artists. Before 1900, most of his works could be characterised as "anecdotal genre scenes". As he became more interested in Islam, he began to paint religious subjects more often. He was active in translating Arabic literature into French, publishing a translation of a 13th century Arab epic poem by Antara ibn Shaddad in 1898.
