EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "View of Oran from the Old Kasbah, c. 1830" transports us back to 19th century Algeria, offering a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of this North African city. The image showcases a breathtaking view of Oran, with its lion-shaped mountain dominating the skyline. The composition beautifully captures the essence of Oran's coastal charm, as we witness the meeting point between land and sea. The azure waters glisten under the warm African sun, while waves gently kiss the shoreline. This maritime setting not only highlights Oran's strategic location but also reflects its historical significance as a bustling port city. From atop the old kasbah, one can admire both man-made structures and natural wonders. The architectural details of buildings in various styles hint at Algeria's complex past influenced by Arab civilization and French colonialism. Meanwhile, the majestic lion mountain stands tall as a symbol of strength and resilience. As we delve deeper into this mesmerizing artwork, it becomes evident that it is more than just a painting; it is an invitation to explore Africa's diverse landscapes and cultures. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries or limitations when it comes to capturing moments frozen in time. This remarkable piece is part of eArchives Charmet collection held by Min. Defense - Service Historique de l Armee de Terre in France – an invaluable resource for those seeking glimpses into our shared human history through art.
