EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Women of a Harem in Morocco, 1875" transports us back to the exotic world of North Africa during the late 19th century. Painted by Jean Joseph Benjamin Constant, this oil on canvas masterpiece captures the essence of leisure and idleness within a harem. The image showcases a group of concubines lounging in an opulent interior adorned with vibrant rugs and carpets. The women are depicted in various states: some dozing off lazily, others engaged in conversation or simply enjoying their solitude. The drummer's presence adds an element of rhythm and mystique to the scene. The artist skillfully brings out the heat and tranquility that permeates through this Moroccan setting. As we observe these bored yet beautiful women seeking respite from their daily routines, we cannot help but be drawn into their world - one filled with restful moments amidst ornate surroundings. Constant's orientalist approach allows us to glimpse into a culture foreign to many at that time. This painting not only highlights the aesthetics of Moorish architecture but also sheds light on societal norms prevalent within harems during this era. With its rich colors, intricate details, and evocative atmosphere, this artwork serves as a window into another time and place – offering viewers an opportunity to appreciate both its artistic merit and historical significance.
