120 Great Orientalist Paintings by Carol Belanger Grafton

These evocative portraits and landscapes recapture the haunting beauty of the Middle East and North Africa. A rage for Eastern exoticism swept the European art world of the 19th century. These entrancing images are among the results, depicting the harems, marketplaces, and mosques of Egypt, Turkey, Persia, Algeria, Morocco, and other regions. Featured artists include Eugene Delacroix, Jean-Leon Gerome, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, and scores of other masters.
French illustrator Gustave Doré (1833-83) began his prolific career at the age of 15, and his dramatic engravings have exercised an incalculable influence over latter-day artists. The remarkable scope of his work ranges from Milton, Dante, and the Bible to Rabelais, Shakespeare, and street scenes of 19th-century London.
