The 1800s was an era of discovery all around the world. After the Napoleonic age, Europe decided to dive into the other continents. In 1815, the Congress of Vienna divided Africa like a cake: this part belongs to France, this other to the British… and so on. As the Europeans began their colonization, they became aware of the different lifestyles that people from around the world had, especially the people from the Maghreb and the Middle East.
Artists didn’t waste time. As soon as they started learning about those new people from the East, they started creating masterworks with Oriental thematic. Musicians, ballet choreographers, writers, painters, sculptors, they were all eager to represent the Orient as they understood it.
