Travel, architecture and orientalist imagination
Orientalism brings together European works inspired by North Africa, the Middle East, the Ottoman Empire and India. It combines observation, travel memories, a taste for decor and a sometimes idealized vision of elsewhere.
Architecture and decorations
Palaces, patios, mosques, alleys and interiors become subjects in their own right.
Light and materials
Textiles, metals, earthenware and carpets are rendered with great richness of color and detail.
Travel scenes
Caravans, markets, horsemen and urban views tell the story of travel and discovery.
Portraits and figures
Odalisques, soldiers, musicians, merchants and inhabitants structure a very varied imagination.
Situate the style
Between romanticism, academicism and travel painting
Orientalism is not a single school. It crosses several movements and combines romantic emotion, academic precision and observation of the world.
Romanticism
The taste for travel, exoticism and dramatic scenes brings Delacroix and Chassériau closer to romanticism.
