Etienne Dinet's fortuitous discovery of Southern Algeria in 1885 completely altered his life and work. His deep attachment led to his complete integration into Moslem society with his conversion to Islam in 1913. This lavishly illustrated monograph highlights the important stages in the artistic and spiritual journey of this original artist who produced such sensitive, intimate and solemn work. A catalogue raisonné illustrating his work constitutes the second half of this book.

<p>Of all the customs and traditions concerning Oriental women, the harem is certainly the most familiar and misunderstood. Travelling painters, writers and poets from the West, have all given free reign to their imagination and fantasies on the subject. To such an extent that in all the paintings from the beginning of the 18th century right up until the 1940s, reality is inseparably linked to the artist's imagination. Besides the theme of odaliscs and almahs, this book also focuses on daily life in the harem. Over 150 prestigious Orientalist painters are listed in individual monographs.</p>
