"L'École coranique" (The Koranic School) is an oil painting by the French Orientalist painter Alphonse Étienne Dinet, created in 1901. The artwork depicts a scene inside a traditional Koranic school in Algeria, where young boys are being taught to read and recite the Quran under the guidance of a teacher, or "mualim." Dinet, who was known for his detailed and empathetic portrayal of Algerian life and customs, spent considerable time in North Africa, particularly in Algeria, which greatly influenced his artistic work.

The painting is characterized by its intricate detail, vibrant colors, and the use of light, which highlights the concentration and solemnity of the students' faces as they engage with their studies. Dinet's work is often noted for its ethnographic accuracy and sensitivity to the subject matter, and "L'École coranique" is no exception. It reflects the artist's deep respect for the culture and traditions of the Algerian people, and his desire to represent them with authenticity and dignity.

Alphonse Étienne Dinet converted to Islam in 1913, taking the name Nasreddine Dinet, and his conversion further enriched his understanding and portrayal of Islamic culture in his art. "L'École coranique" is considered one of his significant works, as it encapsulates the essence of his artistic and personal journey through the representation of Islamic education and spirituality.

The painting is held in high regard for its cultural and historical significance, as well as for its artistic merit. It serves as a window into the colonial history of Algeria and the interactions between French artists and North African subjects during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As such, "L'École coranique" is not only a masterpiece of Orientalist art but also an important document of cross-cultural exchange and understanding.
