The Moorish Warrior William Merritt Chase (American, 1849-1916). The Moorish Warrior, ca. 1878. Oil on canvas, 59 3/16 x 94 7/16 in. (150.4 x 239.9 cm). The lush tapestries, glimmering metalwork, and contemplative warrior in this picture illustrate William Merritt Chases imagined view of daily life in the Middle East. To create this picture for a German patron, the American-born, Munich-trained Chase embraced Realist techniques popularized in Europe, as evidenced by his careful treatment of texture and light. Chase never traveled to the Middle East and instead fabricated the entire scene in the studio using a model and props. This image and others nearby reveal a tendency in nineteenth-century Western art to project Eurocentric fictitious and exoticizing views onto Middle Eastern subject matter. American Art ca. 1878

Date: 1905 ().Sargent traveled to Syria and Palestine in 1905-6 to conduct research for a mural cycle depicting the history of religion for the Boston Public Library. As was his habit during his frequent travels, he recorded the sights in sketches, watercolors, and oil paintings. Sargent manifested a lifelong interest in the exotic, especially draped and veiled women, and incorporated a number of them into his murals. The fluid brushwork and summary treatment of the figures seen in this canvas typify his painting style. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

First Steps ca. 1820-25 Franz Ludwig Catel German The theme of a childs first steps was a popular subject of genre paintings in the uncertain years following the French Revolution, owing largely to its reassuring message of continuity. Catel, who studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, would also have been familiar with the related allegory of the Ages of Man, the subject of a major Salon painting by François Gérard (1808; Musée Condé, Chantilly). The present work shares the Italian setting of Gérards but updates its antique dress by depicting a contemporary peasant family.. First Steps. Franz Ludwig Catel (German, Berlin 1778-1856 Rome). ca. 1820-25. Oil on canvas. Paintings
