19th Century Orientalist oil Painting of a Desert Scene by González Manso

1893

About the Item

19th century Orientalist oil painting of a desert scene by González Manso Spanish, 1893 Panel: Height 14cm, width 20cm Frame: Height 28.5cm, width 34cm, depth 6cm This captivating oil on panel, created by the Spanish artist Elias González Manso (1873–1955), depicts a lively scene set in an expansive desert landscape. At the forefront of the composition, two figures engage in what seems to be an intimate conversation, with one mounted on a magnificent camel. Their interaction evokes the sense of a reunion between close friends. The rider, dressed in light white garments, stands out against the darker hues of the camel, while his companion, clad in rich blue, harmonizes with the sky above. In the background, other figures appear—some standing and conversing, while others journey across the desert expanse. Dominating much of the scene is a rugged hill covered in cactus plants, dotted with palm trees. Manso beautifully portrays the vast, sun-scorched desert, evoking the intense heat of a midday sun. The artwork is framed in an elegant carved giltwood frame and is signed, dated, and dedicated in the lower right corner: ‘Dedicado / Al amigo Bernardino Gracia / Elias G.M. / 1893’ With its depiction of friendship and personal dedication to the artist’s friend, this delightful Orientalist painting is a charming addition to one’s collection.

Antique Orientalist Oil on Board 'Desert Bedouin', by José Benito Ortega
By José Benito Ortega
Located in London, GB
Antique Orientalist Oil on Board 'Desert Bedouin', by Spanish Artist Ortega Spanish, early 20th Century Frame: Height 51cm, width 59cm, depth 2cm Board: Height 44cm, width 53cm, depth 0.5cm Fluidly painted, this vibrant oil on board depicts a dusty Orientalist scene. Four Bedouin ride camels alongside a flurry of goats, carrying lambs and hens in saddlebags. Other figures clothed in Middle Eastern garments walk with them, and the busy scene fades into a dusty, evening landscape. The colour palette is vibrant and hued with dusky pinks and oranges, giving the impression that these Bedouin are returning back to camp. The cropped composition also gives a dynamic feel to the picture: a glance into early 20th Century desert life. The present painting was created by Spanish artist José Benito Ortega...
