The Orientalists: Painter-travellers 1828-1908
At the end of the 19th century numerous painters succumbed to the charms of the Orient. Travel to distant lands was easier, and artists brought back voluptuous images filled with sun and colour. The noted specialist Lynne Thornton has studied almost 150 painters, from Delacroix to Ziem. Her fine book The Orientalists, Painter-Travellers features numerous lesser known masters and is an essential reference work for collectors. It is also a marvellous invitation to travel.
