Moorish Chief African Art Painting Portrait Coffee Mug

Moorish Chief African Art Painting Portrait Coffee Mug

Classic Art - The Moorish Chief Painting The first time I saw this painting gracing the walls of the Philadelphia Art museum's European Collection, I was in awe. This is the real deal, yet it looked right out of a Hollywood movie. The Moorish Chief was painted in 1878 by Austrian painter Eduard Charlemont. It says on the museum label, " Standing in front of an arch that closely resembles the architecture of the Alhambra in Spain, the Moorish chief exudes power and mystery. This painting was probably shown at the Paris Salon exhibition of 1878 with the title Le Gardien du serail (The Harem Guard). " The painting is exotic,shown at the Paris Salon in 1878 as The Guardian of the Seraglio. After that, it was named The Alhambra Guard, and 1914 as The Moorish Chief. The painting shows a powerful black man, standing in an exotic room with a sword and wearing white robes. The background is a room that's modelled after the Alhambra in Spain. The historic black man is standing tall, a high ranking chieftan presumable from North Africa. The African man is standing perfectly, an aura of his leading role in a far-away campaign.

I like to buy and review my own work to ensure you get an outstanding product and I’m happy to give the Primary Colours Beach Football Mug 5 stars because it meets my expectations completely. Pleased with it I am. Zazzle mugs are well fabricated, microwave and dishwasher safe. And this yellow red and blue panoramic wraparound motif is sealed with a durable and sparkling Orca polished gloss glaze finish. It’ll never rub off! The size and energy of two jostling figures and a burly goal keeper fit the mug's circular shape well. There's momentum in the carousel effect as the two jostling figures repeat and move right around the mug and meet a burly goal keeper. Big sharp original images precisely drawn and delicately captured in blue and red with plenty of bright yellow! An ideal gift for anyone who plays ball! A fun gift for all beachball and football fans. A pair with the Retro Grey-Grain Beachball Player Mug. Available in two sizes and several styles including Black Ringer, Travelling, and Stern. Go have a peek!
