EDITORS COMMENTS
Middle East Costumes, Egypt, May 14, 1878," is a stunning depiction of Middle Eastern culture and tradition created by renowned American artist Lockwood de Forest. The image transports us back in time to the 19th century, during the Aesthetic Movement, when travelers and artists were deeply fascinated by the exoticism of the Middle East. The painting showcases a group of figures dressed in traditional Middle Eastern attire, including men and women wearing burkhas, burqas, or boukhas, which are traditional garments that cover the body and face, leaving only the eyes visible. The women's headdresses and headgear are adorned with intricate designs and vibrant colors, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the region. In the background, we see a donkey and a landscape reminiscent of the Egyptian countryside. The painting's composition is masterful, with the figures arranged in a way that draws the viewer's eye to the intricate details of their costumes while also providing a sense of context through the depiction of the Middle Eastern setting. Lockwood de Forest, a prominent American artist of the time, captured the essence of Middle Eastern culture with great sensitivity and respect, creating a work of art that continues to captivate audiences today. This painting is a testament to the power of art to transport us to different times and places, allowing us to experience the beauty and diversity of the world around us." This photograph print is currently housed in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago and is a must-see for anyone interested in Middle Eastern history, culture, or art. It is an invaluable addition to any art center, gallery, or museum exhibition, providing a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to influence the world today.
