About the Item

Andrew Mac Callum (British, 1821-1902) Title: The Great Pyramids of Giza Medium: Oil on canvas Size: 36 in x 52 in Markings: Signed lower right and dated 1878 Andrew MacCallum was born in Nottingham and traveled, studied and painted throughout Europe. He was among the many European painters who traveled to North Africa at the turn of the century, Influenced by the current known as Orientalism. The French Society of Orientalist Painters was founded in 1893, with Jean-Léon Gérôme as the honorary president. The formation of the French Orientalist Painters Society changed the consciousness of practitioners towards the end of the 19th century, since artists could now see themselves as part of a distinct art movement. As an art movement, Orientalist painting is generally treated as one of the many branches of 19th-century academic art; however, many different styles of Orientalist art were in evidence. Art historians tend to identify two broad types of Orientalist artist: the realists who carefully painted what they observed such as Gustav Bauernfeint; and those who imagined Orientalist scenes without ever leaving the studio. French painters such as Eugène Delacroix (1798–1863) and Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824–1904) are widely regarded as the leading luminaries of the Orientalist movement.
