In the 19th century, many European painters went beyond the fantasy of the Orient to access its essence: they experienced the authentic beauty of the lights, the harshness of the desert, and the strength of ancestral traditions. From Egypt to Algeria, from the Sahara to Palestine, Ernst, Deutsch, Hamdi Bey, Fromentin, Berchère, Bridgman, Ziem, Gérôme, Corrodi, Dinet, and Majorelle were fascinated by the atmosphere, colors, and customs of one of the cradles of civilization.
Fervently restoring landscapes, architecture, decorative arts and genre scenes, they were the privileged transmitters of an elsewhere conducive to dreams and contributed to enriching the golden age of Orientalism.
