EXPERIENCE CONVEYED
The powerful effect that the Near East had upon the many great European artists of the 19th century who travelled there, gave rise to a unique genre of painting: one that sought to play back to the viewer that same intensity of experience, through the rendering of exotic atmospheres and situations, often combined with exquisite and highly accomplished degrees of representational detail. One thread that draws these artists and their works together is their desire to convey something authentic about place and people.
