The Moorish Flag, Hoisted on the German Legation, Tangier - A Symbolic Historical Moment in North Africa
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in history as it showcases "The Moorish Flag, Hoisted on the German Legation" in Tangier. Painted by John Lavery in 1920, this oil on canvas artwork measures 63.5x76.5 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The aerial view of Tangier reveals a scenic coastal town nestled along the North African shoreline. The flag itself stands tall and proud against the backdrop of the sea, symbolizing national identity and historical significance for Morocco. As we delve into its historical context, we learn that this event marked an important alliance between Germany and Morocco during that era. The hoisting of the Moorish flag atop the German Legation signifies both political cooperation and cultural exchange between these two nations. Lavery's painting beautifully captures not only the emblematic nature of this act but also highlights Tangier's unique cityscape with its Moorish architecture blending seamlessly with coastal beauty. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind Lavery's work but also offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment where history unfolded against a stunning backdrop. It serves as a reminder of how art can preserve symbolic moments forever etched within our collective memory.
