EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Orientalisme: une famille marocaine au bord de l'eau (The Moroccans)" by Mariano Fortuny takes us on a journey to the vibrant world of 19th century Morocco. The painting, created between 1872 and 1874, showcases Fortuny's mastery of oil on canvas in a compact size of 13x19 cm. In this scene, we are transported to the banks of a serene body of water where a Moroccan family is depicted amidst their everyday life. The rich colors and intricate details bring the viewer closer to understanding Arab civilization and tradition during that era. A man stands tall with his walking stick, exuding authority and wisdom. A majestic horse grazes nearby while an attentive dog keeps watch over its surroundings. The child nestled in his parents' arms represents the future generation, symbolizing hope and continuity. Fortuny's Orientalist approach captures not only the beauty but also the essence of Moroccan culture. From the vibrant clothing adorned by each family member to the subtle expressions on their faces, every element tells a story about their way of life. This artwork serves as a window into another time and place - South Africa's Maghreb region - inviting viewers to appreciate both its artistic value and cultural significance. As we gaze upon this masterpiece housed at Madrid's Museo del Prado, let us be reminded of how art can bridge gaps between different civilizations and allow us to celebrate our shared humanity.
