Title: Orientalism
Dates: from 1700 to 1970
Brief Description: During the 18th century, it became fashionable for painters to depict Middle Eastern customs, lifestyle, architecture and landscape. At first, the pictures tended to be fairly conventional topographical studies and portraits. However, by the middle of the 19th century, the Orientalist painters were producing more novel and exciting works. These became more and more popular, as the accessibility of the Middle East grew (Thomas Cook started Egyptian tours in 1868), and colonial expansionism by France and Britain advanced in Egypt and the surrounding areas. There was a passion in Europe for all things Egyptian, and this came out most strongly in the architecture and art of France. In London, pictures by the French Orientalists - Vernet, Gerome, Decamps, Landelle - may be found in the Wallace Collection.
