Orientalism

Description

Orientalism explores Europe’s rediscovery of ancient Egypt after Napoleon’s Egyptian campaign and Western captivation with exotic, near Eastern themes throughout nineteenth-century art. Artists as different as Ingres, Delacroix, and Renoir painted harem themes. What does the allure of the East say about the art of the West? This course introduces the concept of Orientalism, examines the work of important Orientalist artists, and considers the ideological aspects of both visual images and architecture in the cultures under study.
