Orientalist art

“Les Orientalistes” refers to an important artistic movement of the 19th century that captured motifs from the Orient in richly detailed, vibrantly coloured paintings. 

Orientalist art depicts exotic landscapes, opulent interiors and everyday scenes from North Africa and the Middle East – often shaped by fascination and staged imagery.
