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, Berchere, Bridgman, Ziem, Gerome, 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.

Visually the book is very attractive.
As in most other 'orientalist' titles the Middle East and North Africa are covered.
Other regions such as Sub Saharan Africa ,Asia,India and further afield are not covered although these were depicted from an 'orientalist' viewpoint .
Considering its price this title can rival ACR monographs.
