This beautifully illustrated book, with over 300 colour
reproductions, showcases many of the greatest masterpieces of 19th
century Orientalist art. During this period, colonization, and a
revolution in means of transportation allowed artists to visit
countries from North Africa to the Middle East that had previously
been relatively inaccessible. The patterns, colours, and light of
this region influenced artists such as Delacroix, Decamps, Berche
re, Bridgman, Ziem, Ge ro me, Corrodi, Dinet, Matisse, Majorelle
and many others. Upon returning to Europe, these artists captured
the atmosphere of these distant and exotic lands in painted scenes
of daily life and wrote memoirs of their travels. Some returned to
settle there, including painters like Dinet, who spent a large part
of his life in Algeria, and Majorelle, known as the "painter of
Marrakech." This book offers insight into the Orientalist aesthetic
that inspired the movement, and lays the groundwork for a deeper
understanding of these vibrant works of art. Text in English and
French.
