About this product
Product Information
Shafik Gabr started his collection of Orientalist art in 1993 by acquiring a painting by Ludwig Deutsch entitled Egyptian Priest Entering a Temple. His collection is today amongst the very few in the world to count such a large number of works by the famed Austrian artist as well as some of the finest examples of the greatest masters of Orientalism such as Jean-Leon Gerome, Frederick Arthur Bridgman, Gustav Bauernfeind and many others. Important for both scholars and art lovers, the Shafik Gabr Collection impresses us with its richness and variety. It includes masterpieces by some of the major nineteenth and twentieth century Orientalists found in private hands today and demonstrates the owner's appreciation of differences as well as similarities in European visions of the versatile and diverse Orient. The selection of paintings in this collection illustrates the owner's evolving taste, his relationship with the world of Orientalism and his interest in its European expression. This Orientalist collection is a harmonious kaleidoscope of genres, presenting the Orient through a variety of forms, styles and techniques, and revealing to the European viewer the mysterious East with its bright colours, its exotic and leisurely lifestyle. Over the years, it has become one of the most complete and magnificent tributes dedicated to the world of Orientalism and as such some of the most renowned experts in this field have contributed to this book in order to mark its importance in the art world. Lavishly illustrated, MASTERPIECES OF ORIENTALIST ART: THE SHAFIK GABR COLLECTION also includes essays by distinguished Orientalist scholars. ILLUSTRATIONS: 377 colourProduct Identifiers

A brilliant work
To my knowledge this is the most thorough presentation of Orientalist paintings available. Lavishly illustrated with high quality full colour reproductions of an amazing collection. In addition it has large double page spread details of some works. It contains a history of the collection, biographical notes on the artists and interesting information relating to the elements of each work and incidental notes. It also has a scattering of antique photos of artists, models, architecture and landscape. My copy is a large quality paperback which has a sturdy (illustrated) slipcase which is very practical in keeping it in good order. I have a collection of wonderful books on the Orientalists but this is in a league of its own! I can’t overstate it’s importance and visual value to anyone interested in the Orientalists.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
