Orientalism Art Movement
The Orientalism art movement is a style that emerged during the 19th century, primarily in Europe. It was characterized by an interest in depicting the Eastern world, particularly the Middle East, through various forms of art such as painting and literature. The term 'Orientalism' has since been used to refer to a general patronizing Western attitude towards Middle Eastern, Asian, and North African societies, which essentializes these societies as static and undeveloped, thereby fabricating a view of Oriental culture that can be studied, depicted, and reproduced in the service of imperial power.
Etymology
The term 'Orientalism' refers to the Orient, in reference and opposition to the Occident; the East and the West, respectively. The word 'Orient' entered the English language as the Middle French orient, which has synonymous denotations: The eastern part of the world; the sky whence comes the sun; the east; the rising sun, etc. However, the denotation changed as a term of geography to refer to countries east of the Mediterranean Sea and Southern Europe.
Art
In art history, Orientalism refers to the works of mostly 19th-century Western artists who specialized in Oriental subjects, produced from their travels in Western Asia during the 19th century. French painters such as Eugène Delacroix and Jean-Léon Gérôme are widely regarded as the leading luminaries of the Orientalist movement. Despite social disdain for a style of representational art, the French Society of Orientalist Painters was founded in 1893, with Jean-Léon Gérôme as the honorary president.
Oriental Studies
In the 18th and 19th centuries, the term Orientalist identified a scholar who specialized in the languages and literatures of the Eastern world. Among such scholars were officials of the East India Company, who said that the Arab culture, the Indian culture, and the Islamic cultures should be studied as equal to the cultures of Europe.
