J. Corneau "Blind Beggar on the streets of Cairo" 19th Century
100x73
No signatured
This evocative Orientalist painting, attributed to J. Corneau, captures a deeply human moment in 19th-century Cairo. The scene portrays a blind beggar, assisted by his companion, navigating the bustling and atmospheric streets of the city. The artist’s masterful use of light and shadow, along with a rich palette of warm, earthy tones, lends depth and authenticity to the composition.
The detailed rendering of traditional clothing, architectural elements, and the expressions of passersby reflects the influence of French and European Orientalist painters who sought to document the exotic and vibrant life of the Middle East and North Africa. The dramatic interplay of light and shadow, along with the fine attention to textures, enhances the realism and narrative depth of the piece.
Housed in an ornate period frame, this historically significant artwork is an excellent example of 19th-century Orientalist art, making it a valuable acquisition for collectors and enthusiasts of the genre.
Condition: Good, with minor signs of age-related wear.
A captivating and museum-quality piece, this painting embodies the romanticized yet poignant storytelling that defined European Orientalist art in the 19th century.
