Orientalist Oil Painting with Equestrian Subject

Early 20th century

About the Item

Orientalist oil painting with Equestrian subject Continental, Early 20th century Canvas size: Height 21cm, width 32cm Framed size: Height 30cm, width 40cm, depth 3cm Drawing upon a desirable Orientalist subject, this cinematic oil on panel painting depicts a group of Arabs resting with their horses at sunset. On top of a rocky outcrop are three figures accompanied by two horses. The intimately cropped composition combined with the sketched painterly style give a sense of immediacy to the scene, in an almost impressionistic style. The horses too are subjects in their own right, standing proud alongside their riders in a strikingly humane rendering, reflecting the universal admiration of the equestrian subject within the realm of Orientalist art. The rich colours of this composition are a clear stand-out feature, with the vibrant red and brown hues of the garments and landscape shrouding the figures in a swathe of evening light. The brilliant white details in the piece, such as in the tail of the horse and the spearheads, provide delicate contrasts which draw the eye and bring the scene to life. Framed in an elegant giltwood and painted frame, the painting is indistinctly signed in the lower left-hand corner. This tender scene is a beautiful celebration of the Orientalist genre and would make an excellent addition to the collection of anyone interested in Orientalist art.

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...

Eyes of Shivers - Cinema Inspired Oil Painting w/ Couple Embracing and a Dog
Located in Chicago, IL
In Shivers, a disease is spread through the throat, resulting in a zombie-like infection. In this painting, coupled with an image from The Eyes of Laura Mars, is a reference to ideological possession and the use of compelled speech. It is a concern towards those who display totalitarian traits in their quest for justice, too caught up in their own righteousness to really consider the damage they are doing. The do in the background stands above the lifeless body of a woman, it is dogma and its dismantlement of womanhood. Inspired by the films Shivers, 1975 The Eyes of Laura Mars, 1978 Georgia Hinaris Eyes of Shivers oil on panel 16h x 24w in 40.64h x 60.96w cm GHS003 Horror films are the most profound and visceral of films, garnering the most extreme responses: vehement hatred and cultish admiration. Horror elicits a controlled neurosis while exposing the rejected weaknesses and brutalities of humanity. I embrace the power of cinema and its ability to alter perception, as it is media that is a reflection of our primordial desires. I’m fascinated by concepts involving the limits of human perception, the ambiguity of morality in relation to nature, the paradoxical nature of reality, and the human struggle to reckon with uncertainty. Humans bear the burden of being as we are, all caught in a flux of unbelievable cognitive abilities and animalistic instincts. Every painting is in its own universe and I cater to it. Nothing is precious. Chaos is embraced.
