Oriental Jewish Girl

Jewish Girl in Tangiers by the French Orientalis Painter Charles Landelle (1821-1908).

Gothic Lady

Moonblade by the American artist Gerald Brom (born 1965). Brom is a recent painter well known in the gothic and fantasy scene. The strong influences of neo-classical art and Orientalism is obvious.

Harem Beauty

A Harem Beauty (1899) by the Spanish painter Francisco Masriera y Manovens (1842-1902). Masriera y Manovens was specialized in historical and oriental subjects, his main issue was something exotic.

Roman Nude

In the Tepidarium (1913) another classical Roman nude by the British painter John William Godward (1861–1922).

Opulent Orient

Moroccan Dancer by the Polish artist Adam Styka (1890-1959). Styka was specialized in these opulent Arab girls.

Odalisca

Odalisca (1862) by the Italian painter Luigi Mussini (1813-1888). Despite it’s already in the fashion of orientalism it’s still a very neoclassical painting.

Sweet Berber Girls

Two sweet Berber girls by the French painter Alphonse-Étienne Dinet (1861- 1929). I don’t believe that he really saw anything like this, but he made a lot of money with his fantasies.

Cool Lady in New York

Cool Lady in New York by by the British illustrator David Wright (1912-1967). Kind of pin up, but gorgeous anyway.

Harem Dancer

Another of these kitschy harem dancers by the Austrian painter Hans Zatzka (1859-1945).

Diana Bathing

Diana Bathing (1869/1870) by the French painter Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot (1796-1875). Though Corot became famous for his landscape paintings, he was one of the founders of the Babizon School, in his beginnings he did more traditional art like this Diana.

Black Swan

Leda with the Swan (1917) by the Russian Art Nouveau painter Nikolai Kalmakov (1873-1955). Most impressing to me seems, that it’s a black swan. Was it only because of the colour or should it indicate some kind of evil?

Look at Me

Bendiction by the Australian painter Norman Lindsay (1879-1969). Another of these proud and self confident women, which are so typical fpr Lindsay.
