Orient

The Orient - also called the Levant, the Near East and today often the Middle East - has been a longing destination and place of imagination for many artists since the 18th century. From this land to the east they saw with the sunrise also the inspirational light rising, with which they wanted their works to be imbued with new strength.

At the latest with the occupation of Egypt by the French under General Napoleon Bonaparte between 1798 and 1801, the Orient and the Near East had moved into the consciousness of the European public. Many images depicted the French invasion of the desolate land and the imposing pyramids of Giza, now under siege by the French.

As a result of the Egyptian campaign, many artists began to travel the Near and Middle East and put their impressions of Turkey, Tunis, Egypt or even the "Holy Land" Palestine on paper in drawings. They liked to tie in with well-known biblical themes in order to show Christian scenes as faithfully as possible in the historical surroundings of Jerusalem and against the backdrop of the Palestinian landscape. Even allegorical depictions, such as William Holman Hunt's "Scapegoat," blended into the faithfully rendered landscape as the artist had experienced it on location.

Prints and colorful paintings were produced depicting desert landscapes, Bedouins, markets, mosaics, and the architecture of the Orient. At home, the depictions of simple Bedouin life and camels, the exotic, colorful veils, colorful caftans and the splendor of the elaborately decorated mosques thrilled. But even the erotic harem scenes with seductive, scantily clad odalisques such as those by Frenchman Eugène Delacroix (1798-1863) could be sure of attention and interest in their prudish homeland.

The fascination of the Orient remained unbroken far beyond the 19th century and was continued artistically by the work of Auguste Renoir or Paul Klee, among others.
